The newly released trailer for the Wonder Woman movie contains many hidden details that filmmakers have cleverly integrated, making it difficult for audiences unfamiliar with the comic book version to notice them.
Steve Trevor is the first man Wonder Woman sees
The trailer opens with a scene of Steve Trevor lying on the beach, where Diana – our Wonder Woman – rushes down to examine the man she first sees in this world. When Trevor introduces himself, she somewhat bewilderedly responds, “You are a man.”
This detail shows us that Steve Trevor is indeed the first man Diana sees, given that she lives in Themyscira, a place inhabited solely by women, which makes her connection with this man very profound.
Diana was created, not born in the traditional sense
Indeed, mentioning the fact that all inhabitants of Themyscira are women raises the question of how a male child could possibly be born there. The answer is quite simple: she was created, not born in the traditional way.
To align with the mythological origins, Wonder Woman is the daughter of the god Zeus, which further deepens her character’s background. She was granted life by Zeus, making her akin to being a daughter of the god.
Etta Candy – Steve’s secretary, a character with a 74-year history
It can be said that even hardcore Wonder Woman comic fans might struggle to recognize this character, as Etta Candy is a female character that first appeared in the Wonder Woman comics in 1942. Those who belong to this age group are now quite elderly.
The cinematic version of Etta Candy closely resembles the character created in 1942, so die-hard fans of Wonder Woman will likely enjoy this character.
Wonder Woman will definitely use her Lasso of Truth
Before the trailer was released, many eager fans had speculated whether Wonder Woman would utilize her iconic Lasso of Truth in the film. In Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, she didn’t seem to use the legendary weapon, instead opting for her sword and shield (although those too are iconic).
However, another scene revealed that in Wonder Woman, Diana will indeed wield the Lasso of Truth, showcasing her ability to capture any lying person. It can also be seen that Diana seems to have quite an interest in various weapons, so let’s wait to see what other weapons she might be concealing.
Danny Huston may play Ares, the god of war
It’s hard not to feel surprised when realizing that DC seems to be sticking closely to the comic book origins of Wonder Woman. Therefore, when seeing actor Danny Huston donned in a military uniform, many immediately guessed that he would have a confrontation with Diana.
There are many opinions suggesting that Danny Huston will indeed portray the god of war, who always seeks to create conflict in this mortal realm. Of course, in this film, it includes World War I, which Wonder Woman is currently engaged in.
