That early buzz comes thanks to updates the studio and returning [director Patty Jenkins](http://time.com/time-person-of-the-year-2017-patty-jenkins-runner-up/) have been rolling out to fans this week, including the name of the movie (it will be _Wonder Woman 1984_) and some first shots of the action as the team begins filming. One of the photos, a still of Gadot looking at a wall of TV screens, is atmospheric but ultimately cryptic in terms of plot details. The other image, of [actor Chris Pine](http://time.com/4447981/chris-pine/) as Steve Trevor, is much more surprising. After all, Trevor [heroically sacrificed](http://time.com/4799963/wonder-woman-review/) his life at the end of the last movie during a World War I fight sequence — and flashbacks to the present day in that movie also show Gadot still pining away after her lost love. Fans are both confused and elated by his return, however — and his costume choice, featuring a spot-on 80s tracksuit. Besides Gadot and Pine, we know that [Kristen Wiig](http://time.com/4627911/golden-globes-2017-kristen-wiig-steve-carell/) has been tapped to play the role of villain Cheetah and Pedro Pascal of _Narcos_ will [also be joining](http://www.businessinsider.com/wonder-woman-sequel-set-in-1980s-sequel-details-list-2018-6#franchise-newcomer-kristen-wiig-will-play-the-villain-cheetah-6) the cast of the sequel. But this new Steve Trevor twist in the plot turns the rest of the movie into even more of a mystery. > [](https://twitter.com/PattyJenks/status/1006884175532740608) > [](https://twitter.com/GalGadot/status/1006887729618194432) > [](https://twitter.com/CaillouPettis/status/1006884735061127168) > [](https://twitter.com/organaprince/status/1006886116450918400) > [](https://twitter.com/thomasoldham/status/1006887574768640001) > [](https://twitter.com/4eyedRaven/status/1006884441862488064) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5311040/wonder-woman-2-photos/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5311040/wonder-woman-2-photos/"},"headline":"The First Look at Wonder Woman 1984 Has People Wondering Various Things","datePublished":"2018-06-13T15:39:15.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:53:24.471Z","description":"Welcome back, Steve Trevor?","url":"https://time.com/5311040/wonder-woman-2-photos/","keywords":["Newsfeed","movies","wonder woman"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5311040/wonder-woman-2-photos/","name":"The First Look at Wonder Woman 1984 Has People Wondering Various Things"}}]}] ```
