    Didn't Samir call her "Wonder Woman" in French in the first film?

    I saw a youtube deleted scene where he said it. Was he actually french in the film?? It would have been cool if like a little kid or something came up to her and said it and they looked around and smiled and then she just went by the name

    Sameer's nationality isn't disclosed as far as I know, but he speaks fluent French, and many assume he is from Morocco, since Saïd Taghmaoui hails from there. During this time, Morocco was a protectorate under Spain and France.

    I think it's pretty darn cool that Diana is never or rarely called the Wonder Woman in the movies. To me the movie title is a description of the character. She is a wonder woman. Being Diana to those who know her but a woman of mystery and wonder to everyone else seems like a great motif.

    I don't want to go back and watch every Batman and Superman movie ever made, but I wonder if there weren't some where they didn't go by that name themselves--but might have had it put upon them afterwards. I know that Clark was never called the Superman for most of the run of SMALLVILLE. I gave up on GOTHAM early on, did little Bruce eventually get called the Bat-Man?

    And it seems to me there's an established tradition in origin stories and other stories that the heroes never get the titles. Billy Batson in SHAZAM! never officially gets the name Shazam or Captain Marvel. In most of the Doctor Who shows, the Doctor is not called Doctor Who (although he is sometimes in the credits). Morpheus or Dream is rarely ever called the Sandman in the comic book that has that name. And given enough time and research, I bet I could come up with a long list of TV shows, books, movies, comics where this kind of thing happens.

    I'd be perfectly happy if the Gal Gadot version of the Amazing Amazon is never called Wonder Woman by her peers in the movies. However, I expect this will happen in WONDER WOMAN 1984, as it suits the tone and the sensibility of the era.

    If they had to call the Joker 'Jeremiah' on Gotham, I sincerely doubt they ever got the okay to call Batman 'Batman'. I could be wrong, but since he only appeared in the costume in the last seconds of the last episode, it wouldn't surprise me.

    I guess that's not necessarily inaccurate but it's also hard to ignore the fact that the title is also supposed to be the characters' Superhero name.

    There's a scene in the movie where Billy is trying to transfer his power to the other kids and says "say my name" with the name implicitly being "Shazam" but the kids instead say "Billy" .

    I believe Sameer was North African, perhaps Tunisian or Moroccan, where they speak French.
    His words were, "madame, s'il vous plait, incroyable, magnifique." I just don't know if he's referring to Diana or the drinks he's serving to Steve and Diana. Given his fascination with Diana, what he'd just seen in Veld, and his constant flirtation with her, I'm thinking he was referring to Diana as an "incredible, magnificent, woman," or loosely, a "wonder woman".

    I always assumed he would be from Algeria which was heavily colonized by the French. Interestingly, Zara of the Crimson Flame is also a French speaking Arab, and I assumed that was because she was Algerian too.

    Seems like Jenkins is confirming an Amazons spin-off for Wonder Woman that she will produce.

    Wow. The question is who will direct it. If she isn't then who. But Geoff John also helped the Amazon movie cool. You guys think he will help with the three movie?
