What is the plotline of Wonder Woman 3?
The story of the movie hasn’t been shared yet, but there are a lot of possibilities for what it could be about. The first Wonder Woman took place during the World War, where she tries to discover her true powers and take down her enemies in the war. The second movie took place during the 1980s, where Diana was faced with two new enemies Max Lord and The Cheetah. It is confirmed that the third movie will not be a prequel like the previous two movies.

It is confirmed that Gal Gadot will be returning as Wonder Woman in the third film. However, it is unknown whether or not her love interest Steve Trevor will return as Chris Pine stated that his character’s story is done and he might not come back for the third movie. It is unknown whether Kristen Wiig or Pedro Pascal will return to reprise their roles as The Cheetah and Max Lord, respectively.
