During yesterday’s announcement of Warner Bros’ San Diego Comic-Con panel, they also unveiled the plot to the upcoming DC Films’ “Wonder Woman”.

Gal Gadot will be making her full appearance as Diana Prince after stealing “Batman v Superman” in many people’s eyes away from Ben Affleck’s Batman and Superman played by Henry Cavill. BvS also got fans excited and the people who didn’t like the film interested in the first ever female led superhero film.

Joining Gadot is Chris Pine as Steve Trevor, Connie Nielson as Queen Hippolyta (Wonder Woman’s mum), and Robin Wright as General Antiope with Patty Jenkins directing.

In Warner Bros press release they reveal who wrote the screenplay and it wasn’t who many people thought it was, originally Jason Fuchs, who wrote the scripts for Pan and Ice Age: Continental Drift, but instead the film was actually penned by Allan Heinberg and Geoff Johns.

Heinberg and Johns have previously worked together writing a five-issue arc for JLA (Justice League of America) and the relaunch of the Wonder Woman comic book. Johns is also the co-head at DC Films as well as being Chief Creative Officer at DC Comic and has written for Sky One’s Arrow and The Flash, the Justice League TV series, and more. While Heinberg as written and produced many TV shows including The O.C., Gilmore Girls, Sex and the City, and most recently Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal and The Catch.

I like the one of Johns being a part of the DC movies as much as possible and bring his expertise to the table and already previously worked with Heinberg in comic books especially Wonder Woman herself then they’re the people who know the character best.

It also shows if you have two underperforming films and were actual flops in the box office as Fuchs films did then you lose out on huge projects as the company might not trust you as much.

So here’s the synopsis for Wonder Woman.

“Wonder Woman” hits movie theatres around the world next summer when Gal Gadot returns as the title character in the epic action adventure from director Patty Jenkins. Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers…and her true destiny. 

Joining Gadot in the international cast are Chris Pine, Connie Nielsen, Robin Wright, David Thewlis, Danny Huston, Elena Anaya, Ewen Bremner and Saïd Taghmaoui.
