One of the interesting things about the upcoming Wonder Woman movie is that much of is still shrouded in mystery. Like for example: We still aren't 100% sure who the villain (or villains) will be. Although after seeing the first trailer, which debuted during San Diego Comic Con this year, many speculated that one of the villains will be the mysterious woman wearing a multi-piece facial prosthetic — presumably covering a disfigured face — over her nose, jaw, and lips, as well as the jaw and cheek on the left side of her face.

If that's what you speculated, you were right! Elena Anaya (The Skin I Live In, Habitación en Roma), the Spanish actress that portrays the mysterious woman, revealed in a recent interview that her character is indeed villainous.

"Well, it was a small role in this big ensemble, but it is an important character in the story," Anaya told the Spanish website SensaCine (via Batman-News). "It's directed by Patty Jenkins, then there's Gal Gadot as our main lead, Chris Pine as her co-lead and I'm going to be… a big nightmare for the two of them."

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. Patty Jenkins directs the film from a screenplay by Allan Heinberg and Geoff Johns, story by Zack Snyder and Allan Heinberg, based on characters from DC Entertainment. Wonder Woman was created by William Moulton Marston.

The film is produced by Charles Roven, Zack Snyder, Deborah Snyder and Richard Suckle, with Rebecca Roven, Stephen Jones, Wesley Coller and Geoff Johns serving as executive producers. Warner Bros. Pictures presents, in association with RatPac-Dune Entertainment, an Atlas Entertainment/Cruel and Unusual production, Wonder Woman.

Set to open in June 2, 2017, the Wonder Woman feature film is based on characters created by William Moulton Marston, appearing in comic books published by DC Entertainment.
