7 Things We Learnt From The Second Wonder Woman Trailer

Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice might not have been the critical darling that DC were hoping it would be, but one of its elements that viewers were eager to see more of is Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman. She basically only had a glorified cameo in the movie, but her triumphant introduction in full armour during the battle against Doomsday was a true punch-the-air moment. After 75 years, the most iconic female superhero has finally made her way to the big screen.

2) We Still Don’t Know Who the Villains Are

Though these trailers have told us a lot about the approach the movie will take with the character and its tone, we still know surprisingly little about the actual story of Wonder Woman. Chiefly, it still hasn’t been confirmed who the villain – or villains – of the film are. That said, we do get some hints about them in this second trailer.

Danny Huston’s as yet unnamed angry German officer is clearly either the sole bad guy or the face of a group of villains, as he’s shown at various points in the trailer. At one stage, we see him ordering some scientists around as they work on what’s presumably some extra-potent mustard gas to use on the battlefield. Alongside him, we also see glimpses of a woman with a cracked mask covering the bottom half of her face.

Two of the most prevalent fan theories rolling around are that the woman is Doctor Poison, a facially-disfigured evil scientist from the comics, and that Huston is really Ares, the God of War, in disguise. In the case of the latter, we know from the previous trailer that Diana will be portrayed as the daughter of Zeus, so the film certainly has Greek mythology up for grabs.

We also see him go toe-to-toe with Wonder Woman in a couple of brief scenes in the new trailer, suggesting he has some sort of metahuman ability. Is he really Ares, or would it be more effective to have Diana face a very human evil? It could explain why she turned her back on humanity for so long.
