Wonder Woman Director Shares Gorgeous New Art

Gal Gadot is ready for battle in the new poster for Wonder Woman. Director Patty Jenkins released the poster on her Twitter account Wednesday, just a few days ahead of the film's highly-anticipated release. You can view the full poster at the bottom of this article.

Wonder Woman will follow Diana from her time as a princess of the Amazons, as she is trained to be an unconquerable warrior on the sheltered island paradise on which she was raised. When an American pilot (Chris Pine) crashes on the shores of her homeland and tells her of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers... and her true destiny.

Wonder Woman will become the first female superhero to lead her own big budget film since Jennifer Garner's Elektra, meaning that there's a lot of pressure on Gadot and Jenkins to deliver. However, it seems like the pair is up for the task, as the film is the best reviewed DC movie since The Dark Knight, currently topping a 95 percent on Rotten Tomatoes and tracking for an $80 million debut. 

Robin Wright, Connie Nielsen, Lucy Davis, Elena Anaya, Danny Huston, and David Thewlis also star in the movie, which is based off a script from The Catch's Allan Heinberg. While we wait for Wonder Woman to premiere, prepare by reading up on the character's dark history.

It's her time. Excited to share with you all the newest art for #WonderWoman – in theaters this Friday! 💥⚔ pic.twitter.com/aULTj2lGPb
