Entertainment Weekly has revealed a new image from Wonder Woman showing Gal Gadot as the title character stealing a sword from her mother’s armory.
EW also confirmed that the sword is named “God Killer” and Diana disobeys her mother’s orders by stealing the weapon and heading to Europe to fight alongside man in WW1. It’s exciting to think that this version of Wonder Woman chooses to run away from Themyscira rather than leave with her mother’s blessing.
Talking to EW, director Patty Jenkins explained what’s happening in the above scene, describing it as the moment Diana decides to take a stand and become a hero.
“This is her moment, she’s heard all the terrible things about man’s land. But she’s also heard that mankind is in need and under duress. This is her great moment to make the decision to be the one to try and save them.”
Wonder Woman lands in theaters on June 2.
“’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. 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.
