    This makes me think that Patty had planned for her to fly but Dc or someone else doesn't want her

    I don't think the tweet indicate that DC/WB won't let her. It could go in any direction.

    Other movies supporting a far-right version of history doesn't make a supposedly progressive franchise also doing so a good thing.

    Whether or not the WW84 movie deals with or doesn't deal with the Cold War versus other atrocities in the world is (a) pure speculation and (b) not relevant to this discussion.

    Let's leave this for actual discussion of what we actually know about the actual movie, please

    Apparently, WW84 won't be an actual sequel but a "stand-alone movie" with ties to the original.

    Yeah, I don't know how that's work.

    I think they mean it will be part of the same continuity, but be a largely self contained story. A different chapter in Diana's life.

    Kind of Like Batman Returns was to Batman 1989. It didn't continue any arcs beyond having Bruce, Alfred, Gordon and Gotham in it. Though I don't see how they can avoid all arcs from the first film when we consider all the weirdness surrounding Steve.

    On the plus side, maybe everything related to Zeus will be left in the first film and we can just avoid talking about Diana' lineage altogether?

    If it's true, I wonder how it'll affect the movie.

    On the one hand, audiences are pretty much used to movies now being just part of a never ending extended universe -especially when it comes to superhero movies- so a stand alone film may feel lacklustre to some, I think.

    On the other hand, having an actual superhero movie which doesn't feel like simply a part of a never ending arc may be so dam refreshing, if it's well thought out, well filmed and well delivered, that it can be a huge boon.

    I just hope that Patty will have avoided the pitfalls of the first movie (the time-travel plotholes, the third arc which killed the momentum and message of the movie just to avoid Diana confronting head on the darkness lurking in Mankind's hearts), because if she does, WW84 may be a shining star, not just a good superhero movie finally trating a female main character correctly and decently.

    It all depends on how you interpret the word "sequel". In marketing terms, it obviously is. But narratively, it seems to be its own thing entirely. The comparison the CBR article does to the Bond films is a good one: same main character, some returning supporting characters, a new story with no relation to the previous one. We will probably see some changes in character for Diana between the two movies, but nothing revolutionary.

    Agreed, a great and mostly self contained film would be great vs. a film that is in part an extended trailer for the next one.

    There wasn't any time travel in the first film. And I think Diana was made aware of the darkness in mankind's hearts, she learned they did it all themselves and Ares wasn't responsible for anything besides making things worse. She was just forced to grow up and had to adjust her ideals/world view accordingly.

    But I agree the third act in the next film needs to be stronger. The origin film can get away with having a weaker antagonist because the main focus needs to be on the hero, and comics Ares didn't give them much to work with. And it was Patty's first blockbuster feature. With the set up out of the way and more experience to work the kinks out, hopefully she can knock it out of the park.

    It makes sense to me. There will be some obvious ongoing storylines, particularly Steve's death in the first World War and possibly something to do with Diana's relationship with Queen Hippolyta and the Amazons (although those scenes could all be flashbacks), but otherwise it's is set MANY years after the first film and predominantly appears to feature a new storyline and new characters (again with the exception of Steve Trevor).

    I imagine that one could say much the same about Captain America and Winter Soldier.

    The comments about not being a sequel have been going around for a while. It really doesn't matter if it's called a sequel or not. What matters is for the film to be good.

    What do you all think? Good idea or no? It really sounds like something out of Ghostbusters, which came out in 1984...i love Ghostbusters I don't want to see Ghostbusters in Wonder Woman. First a callback to Superman '78 now this.

    I'm not sure I'd go so far as to say "totally changed", especially since Cheetah has had several backstories; even as Barbara Ann Minerva she has had at least two. It can certainly work: the quality of script and execution matters far more than anything else here.

    What I hope for most is that Barbara and Diana are allowed to be friends, or at least have a meaningful relation in WW84.

    This new origin is probably connected with the Bana Mighdall, my guess is that Barbara snatches the power of the Shim-Tar which she’s unworthy of and winds up cursed instead
