From The First Wonder Woman Movie To Be Set In The 1920s, And Its Sequel During World War II Posted on October 30, 2014 by Rich Johnston We know there’s a Wonder Woman movie coming in 2017. We know it will star Gal Gadot in the lead, and she also appears in Batman Vs Superman: Dawn Of Justice. But as of this date, we presumed it would be set in the modern day. Well, why wouldn’t we? It’s not. I have been informed by those who have seen the greenlit treatment that the film will spends the first half on Paradise Island with warring Amazon factions vying for control. An arrival of a man on the island changes that status quo, as he asks the Amazons for help. Not necessarily Steve Trevor either… Because when Wonder Woman joins him on his return to the world of Man, we all discover that it is the 1920s. And the film will then show Diana exploring that world – a world where women have only just got the vote – from her… unique perspective. A planned sequel would then take place during World War II in the thirties and forties. This of course was the period that the seventies TV show began in, before shifting to the then-modern day. And a threequel would then take place in the modern day, with the Justice League Of America. So. Not the Wonder Woman we were expecting. But the period-set Captain America; The First Avenger didn’t do too badly, did it?

Interesting twist. I'm torn on their decision not to use Steve as the guy who crashes on Paradise Island but then again, with Diana starting out in the 1920s, that gives them a chance to have her dating him once they get around to the modern day. I really hope they use a couple of her Nazi/Axis villains in the sequel such as Baroness Paula Von Gunther, Baron Blitzkreig, Red Panzer, Armageddon, Gudra the Valkyrie, Kung, Sumo, and Dr. Poison.

This is very interesting development here and I'm very curious of how all this pans out and they are planning three movies with Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman. This is a very tall order to fill and looks like DC Comics is trying to play catch up with Marvel Comics in the movies development and all.
This post got me curious and I for one, is very much in please of how this going to play out and I wished they had a better actress to play Wonder Woman. I'm not much of a fan of Gal Gadot either; and I'll try to keep an open mind on watching these movies.
Thanks for the information ... Dr. Poison.

Interesting and great planting her squarely in the first movie at the forefront of women's suffer age and the right to vote.
