Today marks the UK release of DC superhero movie Wonder Woman 1984 in Tiers 1 and 2. After many delays, the Gal Gadot sequel is finally in cinemas a full 9 days before the US’s simultaneous debut in movie theatres and on streaming service HBO Max. But now Warner Bros have shared the action-packed start to the opening scene for fans to get a feel for the movie.
Wonder Woman 1984’s opening scene is a flashback to Diana Prince’s childhood in Themyscira.
Returning to the role as the Amazon warrior’s younger self is Lilly Aspell, who is seen running through green fields.
Gadot’s voice is heard over the footage saying: “Somedays my childhood feels very far away and others I can almost see it; the magical land of my youth.
“A beautiful dream of when the whole world felt like a promise and the lessons that lay ahead left unseen.”

Then, in added trailer footage, fans are shown Wonder Woman using her Lasso of Truth to take on some baddies at the White House.
Before another scene is shown of a bullet whizzing past Diana, as she catches it with her trusty golden whip to stop it hitting Steve Trevor.
Lastly, we see Gadot’s superhero meeting Kirsten Wiig’s archaeologist Barbara Minerva.
She complements Wonder Woman on her leopard-skin high heels before making a cat growl, foreshadowing her transformation into comic book villain Cheetah.
Express.co.uk reviewed Wonder Woman 1984 earlier this week after seeing it at the BFI IMAX before London entered Tier 3 restrictions.
And we can safely say that the DC movie was a welcome return to the cinema, full of reminders of why the big screen is always going to be that unique experience, especially for blockbusters.
Certainly, the biggest highlight jas to be Patty Jenkins’ expertly shot action sequences from the word go.
Wonder Woman 1984 is released in UK cinemas on December 16, 2020.
