Who are the villains of the Wonder Woman movie?
In the new trailer fans saw more of the scared and half masked mystery woman (actress Elena Anaya) and a European military officer (actor Danny Huston) proclaiming, “we can rule the world.”
Who are these mystery villains?
Diana (Gal Gadot) will leave Themyscira after rescuing Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) to join the Allies in “the war to end all wars” but the trailer shows what appears to be soldiers of the Central Powers (including Germany and Austria-Hungary) invading Paradise Island.
The classic arch enemies of the Dark Knight and Man of Steel appeared in multiple movie versions Batman and Superman. Wonder Woman’s greatest enemies include Cheetah, Ares, Circe, Veronica Cale.
Who is the mystery woman? Baroness Von Gunther was Diana’s first recurring rival in the comics. Could this Nazi spymaster/scientist retconned into a World War I operative for the Central Powers or is she a rival Amazon on a rogue mission?
Who is the mystery man? Could this officer become Baron Blitzkreig? In comics this disfigured officer was transformed by scientists into a super-powered villain with powers similar to Superman. Could this officer be an incarnation of Ares, the Greek God of War scheming to ignite global war on Earth?
Could these mystery villains be operatives or pawns of Darkseid? The Amazons are descended of Greek Gods and tied to the New Gods. The Lord of Apokolips has invaded Diana’s island in the comics over the years. Steppenwolf appeared to Lex Luthor in a Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice bonus scene is said to be the main villain of the Justice League movie. (See the trailer again here.) Steppenwolf is the General of Darkseid. Fans should watch for hints and easter eggs that tie Wonder Woman’s origin film to the Justice League movie.
Wonder Woman arrives June 2017.
