A new Wonder Woman poster has been released (via IGN) that features a sword-wielding Diana Prince (Gal Gadot) and Steve Trevor ( Chris Pine) going into battle together.
One of the things that will differentiate the film from the rest of the DC Extended Universe is that there is a grand love story at its core. That doesn't mean it'll be light on action. It just means that there will be more of an emphasis on the romantic relationship that develops between the two leads after the American pilot crash-lands on Themyscira -- a paradisiacal island only inhabited by females -- and reveals the current horrors of World War I to the Amazons. This inspires Wonder Woman to leave with him, seeing for the first time the world that mankind has created, and help stop the conflict.
"I went into this asking, 'What is the potential that we have with Wonder Woman? How can we make that different and exciting?' I loved [Richard Donner's] Superman and classic cinema," director Patty Jenkins explained to the Toronto Sun. "There's something about the earnestness and the grandiosity of that approach that I don't feel is something I've been seeing recently. It felt like a great, fun, unique way to go about it. Her story naturally avails itself to a great love story and all of the things that genre comes with."

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.
The film will be released on June 2, 2017.
