Fans have been given a second tantalizing glimpse of Israel’s Gal Gadot as the heroic Wonder Woman. Set to hit theaters on June 2, 2017, “Wonder Woman” focuses on a classic DC Comics character already seen in 2016’s “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.”
The latest preview opens with the brunette warrior ” alias Diana Prince ” explaining her reluctance to save the world.
“The closer you get, the more you see the great darkness within,” she narrates with scenes moving from modern Paris, to the lush, fantastical island of Themyscira and onto the horrors of World War I.
The clip promises plenty of action, with Wonder Woman tackling trench warfare, using her Bracelets of Submission to block bullets and even sneaking a sword down the back of an evening gown.
Fans have called her action scenes "iconic" on Twitter, and enjoyed the trailer so much they caused it to trend on the platform.
The film, directed by Patty Jenkins,comes at a time when Wonder Woman's profile is increasing; she just became an honorary ambassador to the UN.
Critics are hoping the film gets the franchise back on track after Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad both debuted to terrible reviews. Scan the QR code to watch.
