Say WHAT now?

Filming is officially underway for the sequel to Wonder Woman – and we’ve even gotten our first proper look at wheat’s going on (as well as the title of the film).

As director Patty Jenkins tweeted out on Wednesday, the movie will be called Wonder Woman 1984. 

We’ve gotten a look at Gal Gadot, who will be reprising her role as Diana Prince, looking thoughtfully at (OK, she’s really just standing in front of) a bunch of television screens in a window.

We also have gotten a look at Steve Trevor.

Yes, the same guy who was Diana’s love interest and sacrificed himself to save everyone at the end of the first film.

Walking around like it’s nothing in the sequel. Which is set decades later.

…needless to say, we’ve got a lot of questions about this.

It comes as it was recently revealed that Kristen Wiig will be playing Wonder Woman’s nemesis, Cheetah, in the film. Meanwhile, Game of Thrones’ Pedro Pascal has been cast in a “pivotal role”.

The first Wonder Woman movie was released in June 2017.

It quickly became one of the largest hits of the DC Extended Universe film franchise, among both critics and fans – earning more than $821 million at the box office.

Gal Gadot will return to star in the sequel, while Patty Jenkins is coming back to direct the film.

It is slated to hit theatres in November 2019.
