One special prospect inWonder Woman 1984could   cause   déjà vu for fan of the original picture show . unloose in 2017,Wonder Womanwas widely acclaim as the best picture show in the DCEU franchise at that point , charting the origins of Diana Prince ( Gal Gadot ) on Themyscira and her transition to the world of men , meeting Steve Trevor and helping terminate World War I in a climactic battle against Ares . admiration Woman1984brings the action forth almost 70 geezerhood , introducingCheetah ( Kristen Wiig)and Maxwell Lord ( Pedro Pascal ) as newfangled villains . While   the continuation is arrange before Diana receives her free T - shirt and mug for signing up to the Justice League ,   the Amazonian is already showing a more assured , undercoat personality .

Intriguingly , Wonder Woman 1984also features the return of Steve Trevor ( Chris Pine ) , who died at the death of the original picture while preventing the release of a pestilent gas onto the mainland , and Steve ’s presence in the 1980s totally flip the ace pilot ’s moral force with Diana . In 2017’sWonder Woman , Diana in the archetypal fish out of water . herald from an disjunct tribe of divine warrior , 1918 London is not Diana ’s born habitat . dumbfound by man ’s custom and rampant sexism ,   Diana also fail to apprise that carry a broadsword and wearing armour through Westminster is necessarily go to attract attention . Fortunately , Steve Trevoris on hand to guide Diana through the modern world , and the pair quickly settle in love .

InWonder Woman 1984 , however , Steve Trevor is the one who does n’t know his John Connor from his Jon Bon Jovi .   As glimpsed inWonder Woman1984 ’s trailer footage , Steve admires a trash can care its modern art and woefully underestimates the capabilities of RADAR engineering . The new laggard released atDC ’s FanDome eventgoes further , ending on a Steve Trevor fashion show , with Diana ’s resurrected love stake trying on a series of gaudy eighties outfits to screaming effect .

This is a lineal mirror of a very similar setting in the 2017Wonder Womanmovie , where Steve and Etta Candy accompany Diana to a section store   in lookup of a less blazing supporting players . A reluctant Diana come out of the medical dressing room wearing some ridiculous outfit from the late 1910s , eventually hitting upon one that suit her ( and catches Steve ’s eye).Wonder Woman 1984puts the vintage sneaker on the other foot , with Steve trying on clothes he does n’t empathise and Diana pass by her contemporary judgment , just as Steve and Etta did many days prior .

Interviews with theWonder Woman 1984cast have spiel up the policy change of Diana and Steve ’s roles , and take up a fit directly from the original movie prove how far the comparison runs through the sequel ’s veins . InWonder Woman , Diana was full of Leslie Townes Hope and optimism , only to be ground down by the nescient , violent inherent aptitude of the world outside Themyscira . Her experiences in WWI and thedeath of Steve Trevorwounded Diana forever , and by the 1980s , she ’s likely suffering from the same jaded acceptance that Steve felt back in 1918 . But just as the virtue of Diana facilitate inspire Steve in the first film , the opponent could be true inWonder Woman 1984 . In the bright commerce of the 1980s , Steve ’s old - fashioned values and wartime position could be the jolt Diana needs to rediscover the   spark she lost after move to the existent world

Of course , there ’s only so far theSteve and Diana parallelcan go inWonder Woman 1984 . The pair ’s original rendezvous ended in disaster when Steve snuff it and Diana was pull to be on without him , but DCEU continuity has already shown   the Amazonian survives into the 2010s to crusade alongside Batman and Superman . On the other hired hand , Steve Trevor seems destined to   perish yet again when the magic that brought him back expires . Perhaps the genuine tragedy of Wonder Woman is that even when it ’s Diana steer Steve through an unsung worldly concern , and when Steve ’s the one strain on airheaded clothes , Diana will always be   leave saying goodbye .
