‘Wonder Woman’ Clips: Diana Prince Fights Fiercely, Steve Trevor Gets Lassoed & More
In just under two weeks, the world will be given the hero that the DC Extended Universe needs in the form ofWonder Woman. Theearly buzz on the movieis off the charts, and it sounds like the superhero’s first solo foray on the big screen is exactly what fans of the character have been waiting to see for decades.
Warner Bros. Pictures is in full marketing mode, unleashing all sorts of trailers and TV spots upon the public, and that includes a batch of new clips from the movie that you’ll likely see on television as theGal Gadot, Chris Pineand more make the publicity rounds to help promote the movie. In these six clips you’ll get some extended sequences from the movie, more of a glimpse into the natural, charming humor that comes from Diana and Steve, and more.
Watch the newWonder Womanclips below.
Despite what the cover image for the video shows, this clip is from earlier in the film when Diana, Princess of Themyscira is training with her aunt, General Antiope (Robin Wright), in an effort to become a more skilled warrior. It’s basically an extended scene of the one glimpsed in the origins trailer where Diana first shows the superhuman powers she has when defending herself against an attack from Antiope.
After Steve Trevor has crashed in the ocean near Themyscira, he’s brought in front of Queen Hippolyta (Connie Nielsen) and is forced to reveal his mission to the Amazons as the Lasso of Hestia (better known as the Lasso of Truth) compels the American spy to answer honestly whatever questions he is asked. We get to see that it’s a struggle for the truth to come out rather than having it rambled off like some kind of drone, almost like the truth serum from Harry Potter.
Fun Fact: The glowing effect for the Lasso of Hestia was a practical effect on set and not something that was added in post-production. you’re able to see it being used on set inthis collection of b-roll footagestarting around the 2:23 mark.
Here’s a clip offering a bit of humor after Steve Trevor has left a meeting with his superiors to discuss his next move in the war. Diana is clearly not happy with how the meeting went, because she believes they’re not going to the frontline of the war anymore as Trevor indicated in the meeting. But Trevor reveals that he was lying, and in order to prove to Diana he’s telling the truth to her, he voluntarily gets out part of her lasso and wraps it around his arm to prove it to her. It’s nice to see that they left the power f that lasso intact in the movie.
In another extended bit from the trailer, we see Diana Prince having some trouble fitting in as she aims to carry her sword and shield with her, even when she’s trying to remain inconspicuous while in London. She hands over her weapons to the charming Etta Candy (Lucy Davis), and I believe this scene actually takes place before the clip above, since Diana doesn’t have her weapons with her when she goes to the meeting with Steve Trevor.
In this scene, Wonder Woman is moving through war torn Europe with Steve Trevor and his band of soldiers when they encounter a unit of enemy fighters. She wastes no time charging into battle with her shield, deflecting bullets left and right, busting through windows, breaking weapons and generally kicking ass.
This clips seems to be a bit later in the movie when Wonder Woman finally confronts General Erich Ludendorff (Danny Huston) and finds herself dealing with a man much stronger than those she’s encountered on the battlefield so far. Ludendorff doesn’t struggle much when engaging in hand-to-hand combat with with Diana, though he’s not quite able to dispatch with her easily.
This further hints at our theory that Ares the God of Waris hiding within Ludendorff’s body. In fact, it appears this scene takes place in the lookout tower that can be seen exploding with glowing white light in the trailers, and I’m betting that’s when Ares is unleashed from his human body. But what happens after that remains unclear.
Patty Jenkins(Monster) is directing her biggest movie to date with a supporting cast that includesChris Pineas Steve Trevor,Lucy Davisas Etta Candy,Connie Nielsenas Hippolyta,Robin Wrightas Antiope,Danny Hustonas General Erich Ludendorff,Elena Anayaas Dr. Poison,David Thewlisas Sir Patrick Morgan and more.
