After years of waiting, Wonder Woman fans are finally going to get their due. Not only will the Amazonian princess appear in two films in 2017  —  her standalone Wonder Woman next June and the Justice League crossover in November  —  she will also be the subject of an upcoming biopic of comic book creator William Moulton Marston and the two women who played a pivotal role in the creation of the character.

The drama of Supergirl moving to The CW understandably swept a few Season 2 questions aside, particularly reports of producers eying Wonder Woman herself, Lynda Carter for a presidential role. Thankfully, Supergirl will follow through on its wondrous casting, confirming that Season 2 will introduce Carter as Supergirl’s Madam POTUS.

Even before the early reviews began rolling in, the trailers solidified Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman as the most exciting attraction in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Audiences agreed, as Wonder Woman — whose name isn’t even in the title of the film — ranked highest in a recent poll that asked fans which character they were most eager to see in Zack Snyder’s superhero epic. As predicted, Gadot’s debut is definitely the best thing in Batman v Superman, and although her part only makes up about seven minutes of the film’s 150-minute runtime, those few minutes are riveting — but not enough to justify Snyder’s unfortunate treatment of the remaining female characters.

The blockbuster's directed by Patty Jenkins (Monster, The Killing) and tells the DC superhero's origin story.

As has been heavily rumored since last year, we know that at least part of the Wonder Woman solo film will take place during World War I, a fact supported by the first set photo of Chris Pine and co-star Said Taghmaoui, and reiterated by the latest batch of images from the set of the highly-anticipated solo superhero outing. The new photos reveal what Gal Gadot’s Diana Prince looks like in WWI-era civilian clothing and give us another look at Pine.

Adrianne Palicki, an actress most famous for her role as Tyra on “Friday Night Lights,” will portray comic book heroine Wonder Woman in a pilot being shot for NBC. In the reboot, Wonder Woman will be a high-powered business executive, as well as a crime fighter.
