New Wonder Woman Toys Seem To Confirm Ares As The Villain

Everyone has been speculating Ares would be the villain of the upcoming Wonder Woman movie, but his inclusion has yet to be confirmed.

Some new figures from DC, prepping fans for the movie, seem to have made Ares’ involvement in the film official.

The first look at the Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor figures from the movie have appeared online, and they both come with collectable pieces of the villain Ares.

DC and Marvel both have toy lines with this concept. The idea is that every figure in a certain line comes with a piece of a bigger character – usually a villain. If you collect every figure, you can then build the big figure with all of the extra pieces.

Since both figures are specific to the movie, not the comics, their inclusion of Ares seems to indicate he will play a major role in the movie.
