The film has definitely been better received than Batman v Superman...
The long-awaited
Wonder Woman movie is finally here. And perhaps the most surprising thing about it has been how good the reviews have been so far. The other movies in the DC movie universe (
Man Of Steel,
Batman v Superman and
Suicide Squad) have been, well, divisive, to say the least. But
Wonder Woman has been very well received by both critics and fans (it’s currently got 94% on
Rotten Tomatoes).

So talk has naturally turned to the sequel – and there’s one big obvious question people will be asking. Unlike the other DC movies
Wonder Woman is a period piece, set in World War I. Will the sequel keep that time setting?
And now we know the answer. In a profile in
The Hollywood Reporter, star Gal Gadot and director Patty Jenkins reveal that
the sequel will be set in the modern day. So there’s no time jump to World War II or anything, like a few fans have suggested.
This of course is reminiscent of the move from the WWII-set
Captain America: The First Avenger, and the modern-day
The Winter Soldier. And
The Winder Soldier is generally regarded as one of the very superhero movies or recent years, so it seems like a good move.
