Warning! Wonder Woman spoilers lie below!

When it comes to the DC Extended Universe, Wonder Woman reigns supreme right now. The heroine had her standalone debut last month, and Wonder Woman’s hefty box office pull continues to break Warner Bros. records. And, if new rumors regarding the film’s sequel are true, the Wonder Woman 2 may just blow everyone’s mind.

ScreenRant just published an article detailing reports they claim to have learned about Wonder Woman 2‘s production. Of course, Warner Bros. has not commented on any of these reported leaks, so fans should take the site’s details with a heavy grain of salt.

According to ScreenRant, Wonder Woman 2 is expected to be another historical adventure, so it won’t catch up to the modern DCEU timeline yet. The sequel is said to take place during the 1980s when Diana will find herself deeply involved in the Cold War’s final days. The report says Wonder Woman‘s original production team is expected to sign on for the sequel while Geoff Johns continues to develop its script with Patty Jenkins. The latter is also expected to direct the film as she is still in contract negotiations.

Aside from the setting change, the report also suggests Wonder Woman 2 will bring back a rather surprising character. ScreenRant says that Chris Pine will return in the sequel as Steve Trevor, but it is anyone’s guess as to how that could happen. Wonder Woman saw the U.S. soldier sacrifice his life to destroy chemical weapons made by Doctor Poison. Still, comic books are comic books; There is some weird science or magic that can revive Steve if Warner Bros. wants it enough.

Wonder Woman has an 86.52 ComicBook.com Composite Score and a 4.33 out of 5 ComicBook.com User Rating, making it the fourth-highest ranked comic book movie of all time among ComicBook.com readers.

In Wonder Woman, before she was Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, Diana meets an American pilot (Chris Pine) who tells her about the massive conflict that’s raging in the outside world. Convinced that she can stop the threat, Diana leaves her home for the first time. Fighting alongside men in a war to end all wars, she finally discovers her full powers and true destiny.

Gal Gadot made her debut as Wonder Woman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice in 2016. She will return as Wonder Woman alongside the DC Extended Universe’s other heroes in Justice League, opening in November 2017.

Wonder Woman was directed by Patty Jenkins from a screenplay by Allan Heinberg, based on a story by Heinberg, Zack Snyder, and Jason Fuchs. Wonder Woman stars Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Robin Wright, Danny Huston, David Thewlis, Connie Nielsen, and Elena Anaya.
