THE HISTORY OF WONDER WOMAN
● Wonder Woman first appeared in All Star Comics #8 on Octo. 21,1941 in a back-up story meant to test her appeal at a time when female Super Heroes were rare. An instant favorite, Wonder Woman was soon headlining her own standalone title less than a year later. Subsequent generations came to know the Amazonian princess with silver bracelets on her wrists and a magic lasso by her waist via her hit 1970’s television series as well as roles in animated shows and movies. The groundbreaking 2017 film Wonder Woman by director Patty Jenkins and starring Gal Gadot was the largest grossing live action film ever for a female director at the time of release.

The sequel, Wonder Wonde premiered on HBOMax and in theaters globally Dec. 25, 2020. Warner Bros.
Pictures confirmed the third Wonder Woman movie starring Gadot will also be written by Jenkins.
