1) When Will Wonder Woman 2 Take Place?
Wonder Woman uses its period setting brilliantly, as it’s integral to the story and brings out a lot of interesting and timely themes of peace and war. Now that we’ve had Diana’s origin story filled in, however, the big question we’re wondering after watching the movie is whether the sequel – which is definitely on its way, after the massive success of this one – will jump forward in time or not.
If DC want to take another page out of Marvel’s book, they could move Diana to the present day, as was done with Captain America in The Winter Soldier. Seeing as the movie would appear after Justice League, this would make a lot of sense. However, if you ask us, we’d like to see them do something different and keep the Wonder Woman films as prequels to the rest of the DCEU. What did Diana do during World War II, for example? There’s surely a great story to be told there.
As it stands, director Patty Jenkins – who will thankfully return for the sequel – has not yet made up her mind about what time period to set the movie in. Here’s what she had to say about it:
“I know I’ve got to take her from the end of World War I to someplace. But whether it’s something in between — something in the time between that and BvS, I just don’t know. Or maybe it’s something after Justice League. I just don’t know.”
What we do know about Wonder Woman 2 is that it will definitely take Diana to America, it will likely feature her iconic Invisible Jet and could see Cheetah as the main villain. Whatever setting Jenkins eventually goes with, let’s just hope she can create a sequel that lives up to the heights of the first one.
