Gal Gadot plays Wonder Woman, the Amazonian daughter of Zeus. Her strength and powers far surpass anything humans can throw at her, but their world bothers and puzzles her. Her sweetheart is American GI Steve Trevor, played by Chris Pine. He appeared to die in the first movie, but come on, Hollywood can’t let such a complete Wonder Woman mate stay dead.

Robin Wright again plays General Antiope, Wonder Woman’s aunt, in the sequel, though she sacrificed herself for Wonder Woman in the first film. Connie Nielsen is also back as the mother of Wonder Woman, Hippolyta, the queen of Themyscira, the home island of the Amazons.
