LOS ANGELES, July 13 (UPI) — Warner Bros. and DC Comics have revealed the official synopsis for their upcoming superhero epic, “Wonder Woman.”
“‘Wonder Woman’ hits movie theaters around the world next summer when Gal Gadot returns as the title character in the epic action adventure from director Patty Jenkins,” reads the synopsis.

Gadot and Pine are set to be joined by Connie Nielsen, Robin Wright, David Thewlis,Danny Huston, Elena Anaya, Ewen Bremner and Saïd Taghmaoui. Scripted by Allan Heinberg and Geoff Johns, from a story by Zack Snyder and Allen Heinberg, the synopsis comes before Warner Bros. plans on showcasing Wonder Woman during their Hall H panel taking place July 23 at the San Diego Comic Con.
Also in January, it was announced that original Wonder Woman actress Lynda Carter, who famously appeared as the heroine in the popular 1970s television series, would not be appearing in the film despite a fan petition and a cryptic response regarding the matter from Pine.
“Wonder Woman” is due in theaters June 2, 2017.
