‘Wonder Woman’ Is the Fantastic DC Movie We’ve Been Waiting For

[dropcap]L[/dropcap]ook out, Marvel! DC has (finally) entered the arena. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been dominating the box office, the critic scores and, well, pretty much everything. In comparison, the DC Comics movies have been a tragic disappointment. That is, until Wonder Woman came along.
DC is paving the way with the first female-fronted superhero movie in these two competing franchises. Considering the way DC movies like Suicide Squad and Batman v Superman turned out, fans weren’t very optimistic. Not to mention, this would be a bad movie to flub. If the first female-fronted superhero movie bombed, what kind of hope could we have for more female leads in the future?
The Votes Are In
Luckily, DC is finally using this time to shine. Wonder Woman is set to debut on June 2, but the critic reviews are already in. Rotten Tomatoes, which aggregates critic reviews, has given the blockbuster a stellar 96% “fresh” rating. That means 96% of critics gave it a thumbs up. That’s the absolute highest rank ANY Marvel or DC movie has received.
The overall consensus is that both the story and the cast are fantastic. Set during World War I, the plot follows Amazon princess Diana as she discovers a pilot who was nearly killed in a plane crash. He fills her in on what’s happening in the world, and Diana vows to help.
Gal Gadot stars as Diana (aka Wonder Woman, for the uninitiated in the comic world), and Chris Pine plays the pilot Steve Trevor. Joining them are Connie Nelson, Robin Wright, Danny Huston, David Thewlis and Ewan Bremner.
If Wonder Woman is any indication of where DC will go from here, things might finally be looking up. You hear that, Marvel? It’s time to step up your game!

Director Patty Jenkins Confirmed for Wonder Woman Sequel – YES!

Patty Jenkins Is Back!
[dropcap]I[/dropcap]f there’s one thing Hollywood knows how to do, it’s taking something that works and sticking with it. Usually, that just means we get beat over the head with sequels until a franchise is run into the ground. However, sometimes, we actually get more of what we want. Case in point: Patty Jenkins will be returning to direct the Wonder Woman sequel.
Variety reported that Patty Jenkins has officially sealed the deal for the new project. Considering how much she was praised for her work on Wonder Woman (2017), it’s no wonder. The superhero film was highly anticipated due to the fact that it was the first big Marvel or DC pic to focus on a female lead. The fact that it was also helmed by a female director was an added bonus.

DC Comics films hadn’t been doing so hot with the critics, so there was a lot riding on this. Luckily, Patty Jenkins delivered. Wonder Woman earned $813 million at the worldwide box office. It also received a 92% “certified fresh” rating on RottenTomatoes.
Wonder Woman Returns
Naturally, Patty Jenkins isn’t the only fantastic female to be returning. Gal Gadot, who plays Wonder Woman herself, is also signed on for the project. Gadot was likewise praised for her work on the new movie. She was charismatic, loving, strong, graceful and accepting.
Unfortunately, we have to wait a while to see the new movie. Wonder Woman 2 is scheduled for release on December 13, 2019. On the bright side, Gadot’s Wonder Woman is set to appear in Justice League, which has an earlier release date of November 17, 2017.
Will you be checking out Wonder Woman 2 as soon as it’s out? We are already marking our calendars!
