New concept art from the Wonder Woman is released featuring Wonder Woman first becoming a hero in the movie.
“It’s a very powerful moment,” Gadot says. “We have a character committing to her true self, doing what she believes needs to be done.”
The article offers more plot details which includes mention of Ares:
Diana is thrust toward her destiny after American intelligence officer Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) crashes near her island, pursued by the German army. Trevor has discovered that German general Erich Ludendorff (Danny Huston) has plans to release a chemical super weapon, potentially killing millions. Diana wants to help — convinced that this evil could only be the work of Ares, the God of War.
Trevor escorts Diana to England, where she catches her first glimpse of industrialized London, or Man’s Land, a world she doesn’t quite understand, specifically the era’s antiquated gender and social norms. But it’s this battlefield scene that marks the first time Diana reveals her iconic garb.
It’s noted both director Patty Jenkins and Geoff Johns equate the scene to Superman.
“[This scene] reminds me of when Superman caught Lois and caught the helicopter [in the 1978 movie],” Johns says. “But this one is even more visceral.”
