![]() If that was not already enough for her to contend with, Diana will also be reunited with her former love-interest Steve Trevor, who has returned from the dead under mysterious, and possibly nefarious circumstances. The highly anticipated sequel finds Diana coming into conflict with not one, but two formidable foes in the form of Barbara Ann Minerva aka Cheetah and the mysterious media mogul Maxwell Lord. Wonder Woman 1984 is currently lighting up HBO Max (and select theaters) with its bright colors, vibrant action sequences, and old school optimism, picking up with the Amazonian superhero in the 1980s, with Diana Prince living during the height of the Cold War between the U.S. "I feel like the past has been handled well, and now it's time to move on." "I wouldn't go, like, to the '60s or to the '40s with Wonder Woman," she said while addressing the sequel's potential setting. Wonder Woman 1984 star Gal Gadot, who has also been confirmed to be returning to reprise the lead role in Wonder Woman 3 has also asserted that the movie will not travel to the past this time., with the actress believing that "the present is the right thing" for further installments. Where we put it and how that gets figured out, I haven't totally nailed down." "I'm not planning to put it in the past again, because where are you going to go? You have to go forward. Jenkins was recently confirmed to be returning for a third Wonder Woman adventure, with the director having previously revealed that she has "two more stories that become the completion of this story and it's all about women stepping in as women, in the most loving, kind, pure and natural way." While very little is known about the direction of Wonder Woman 3, Jenkins has confirmed that, unlike its predecessors, the threequel will be set in the modern day. The sequel has received some criticisms for making the character the sidekick to Pedro Pascal's Maxwell Lord, which is something that could be rectified should she return to the fray. While Jenkins does not commit to bringing back Kristen Wiig as Cheetah for more CGI mayhem, it certainly sounds like Wonder Woman 1984 was just the beginning for the legendary DC supervillain. But the truth is there may or may not be more to come. I love that we wrap up Max Lord's point of view, and that you see the culmination of that storyline, I think is so important. "I have my reasons for making it ambiguous, and I think it's not clear what her point of view on everything that just happened. Well, director Patty Jenkins has now revealed that this could well leave the door open for the character to return in Wonder Woman 3. Now, without further ado, let’s get to know the antagonists of Wonder Woman 1984. Beginning the movie as the mild-mannered Barbara Minerva, Wiig slowly transforms into the CGI beast, battling with Gal Gadot's Diana along the way, before concluding her journey on something of an ambiguous note. We see that she did just that in the first film with Ludendorff, Doctor Poison and her half-brother, Ares, but the Amazonian warrior is in for something else entirely with the likes of Max Lord and Cheetah. He did, but in return, Lord gained his shares and control of the company, and he also removed Stagg from the playing field entirely by having him immediately be arrested by the authorities for tax crimes.Audiences may not have seen the last of Kristen Wiig's Wonder Woman 1984 villain, Cheetah. Later on in the film - after being bonded with the Dreamstone - Lord visited Stagg in his offices, and manipulated him into using his one wish to boost Black Gold's performance in the oil market. Stagg argued that Lord's company was never going to get off the ground, and that he was nothing more than a loser and a conman - words that particularly stung for Lord, as they were said in front of his son, Alistair (Lucian Perez). This included him arriving at the empty Black Gold offices, where he was greeted by one of the company's investors, Simon Stagg (Oliver Cotton). Prior to his inciting incident in the film - which saw him steal the Dreamstone that had made its way to the Smithsonian after an artifact heist was stopped by Diana Prince/Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) - viewers got to see the circumstances of Max's life, and how his veneer on television didn't match his reality. A good portion of the film revolved around Maxwell Lord (Pedro Pascal), a businessman and television personality who was trying to gain worldwide love and acclaim through the growth of his Black Gold Cooperative oil company.
