Over the past year or two, there has been an increasing number of voices asking why we still have not seen a recent comic book movie headlined by a woman. Excuses have ranged from the lack of viable characters to the box office flops of Catwoman and Elektra, but now, in the span of a few weeks, it looks as though the tide is finally turning. Both DC and Marvel have announced their first female superhero flicks, Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel respectively, and Sony is also considering an all-female team-up in the Spider-Man universe. If these movies are successful, you can bet we’ll see more, and as it turns out, Warner Brothers may be banking on it. Word on the street is that they are already planning an entire trilogy of Wonder Woman films as part of their future plans.

According to Bleeding Cool, the solo Wonder Woman movie that is currently scheduled for release on June 23rd, 2017, will not actually be set in the present day but rather in the 1920s, following Diana as she emerges from Paradise Island for the first time. A sequel would take place during WWII (not unlike Captain America: The First Avenger) and then the third film would shift to modern day as she joins the Justice League. Together, these three movies would form a loose trilogy.

This report should obviously be taken with a grain of salt, but if it turns out to be true, it sounds like Warner Brothers might be looking at all of their solo movies as prequels. In other words, they are working in the reverse order of Marvel, telling the origin stories after introducing the characters. Either way, it’s not hard to believe that they are thinking about more Wonder Woman solo films, but they could still be a long ways off. Gal Gadot did recently pass on a major role in the Ben Hur remake due to her WB commitments, which may add some credibility to the story. Either way, are you interested in seeing a solo Wonder Woman movie set in the past?
