WONDER WOMAN 1984
Director: Patty Jenkins
Starring: Gal Gadot, Kristen Wiig, Pedro Pascal, Chris Pine, Robin Wright, Connie Nielson
Trust me when I tell you that director Patty Jenkins and Gal Gadot rule the DC Extended Universe. Their latest, Wonder Woman 1984, will be in theaters and will be streaming on HBO Max on Christmas. In the first film, we saw Diana Prince aka Wonder Woman fall in love with Chris Pine’s Steve Trevor during the first world war. Flash forward to 1984, and Diana now works for the Smithsonian by day while mourning the loss of her great love. Her newest colleague Barbara Minerva, played by Kristen Wiig, is a gemologist and zoologist who has been brought in to examine a magical stone. Barbara falls victim to the charming Max Lord, a conniving businessman and television personality who has dangerous plans afoot. He’s played by Pedro Pascal who you may know better as The Mandalorian.
