Wonder Woman gets an official synopsis, Geoff Johns revealed as co-writer

July 12, 2016 by Amie Cranswick

Gal Gadot is set to return as the Amazon Princess next year as she headlines the Wonder Woman solo movie, and Warner Bros. has released an official plot synopsis for the film, which reads:

“Gal Gadot returns as the title character in the epic action adventure from director Patty Jenkins. Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers…and her true destiny.”

Meanwhile, the studio has also revealed the screenwriting credits for the movie, with Allan Heinberg (Grey’s Anatomy) and DC’s CCO Geoff Johns penning the script from a story by Heinberg and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice director Zack Snyder. Originally, Jason Fuchs (Ice Age: Continental Drift) was announced as writing the script, and earlier this year he also signed on to pen the screenplay for a Lobo movie.

Wonder Woman will hit cinemas on June 2nd, 2017 with a cast that includes Gal Gadot (Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice), Chris Pine (Star Trek), Connie Nielsen (Gladiator), Robin Wright (House of Cards), Danny Huston (X-Men Origins: Wolverine), David Thewlis (The Theory of Everything), Ewen Bremner (Snowpiercer), Said Taghmaoui (American Hustle), Elena Anaya (The Skin I Live In), Lisa Loven Kongsli (Force Majeure) and Lucy Davis (Shaun of the Dead).
