With regards to the plot, IGN reported that the first standalone film may take Wonder Woman back in time. Some sources say that it may be as far as World War I, although there were rumors before that the storyline will be set during the Crimean War, which may make sense since Wonder Woman or Diana Prince served as a war nurse in her early comics. If the rumors are true, fans will have to wait and see how things will work out with a World War I setting.
Gal Gadot is set to star in "Wonder Woman" together with Chris Pine as Steve Trevor. After her debut in "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice," she will reprise her role in "Justice League Part One" in November 2017. Her solo film is said to be released on June 23, 2017, reports Superhero Hype.
