Wonder Woman 1984 full trailer premieres at DC FanDome with Lynda Carter in attendance

Kristen Wiig’s villain Cheetah made her first full appearance in the new Wonder Woman 1984 trailer that was released Saturday at the DC FanDome. 

Gal Gadot, 35, joined her costars Chris Pine, 39, Wiig, 47, and Pedro Pascal, 45, for a panel discussion on Saturday at the DC FanDome event that also featured the director Patty Jenkins, 49.

The panel also featured a special guest appearance by Lynda Carter, 69, who brought the iconic character to life on television in the 1970s.

The trailer opens with a short flashback to Diana’s childhood that shows her athletic prowess, as a woman’s voice says, ‘One day, your time will come, Diana… and everything will be different.

There’s a quick cut as she whips her lasso into the sky and takes off, flying through a raging storm by lassoing lightning bolts.

Things take a sinister turn when Maxwell Lord (Pascal) commandeers television broadcasts in 1984.

‘Citizens of the world, I am here to change you life,’ he says on screens everywhere.

‘Anything you want, anything you dream of, you can have it,’ he continues.

The action switches to a fancy party, where Diana is shocked to see Steve Trevor (Pine) alive, after believing him to have died during the First World War.

‘You look like you’ve seen a ghost,’ he says before they embrace.

He marvels over how she hasn’t aged, though it’s not explained how he’s made his way to 1984 or why he’s the same age. 

At another high-end party, Wiig makes her first appearance as Barbara Ann Minerva, later to be the villain Cheetah.

‘I don’t want to be like anyone,’ she says in voiceover. ‘I want to be an apex predator.

‘You’ve always had everything while people like me had nothing,’ she says again, seemingly directing it to Diana. 

The action cuts to what appears to be the White House as Wonder Woman takes down multiple armed men with her lasso, before Barbara appears and attacks her.

Next, there’s another action scene where Diana and Steve are riding atop supply trucks that topple over.

The two go for a jet ride in the next scene, where Steve seems too sure of himself.

The trailer concludes with the first full view of Cheetah after Wiig’s character mutates into a feline villain.

‘Barbara, what did you do?’ Diana whispers as she comes face-to-face with the new creature.

The trailer concludes with a hilarious scene in which Steve tries to look cool with a hip bag, before trying out a garish ’80s outfit with parachute pants.

‘Parachute pants? Does everybody parachute now?’

The trailer was unveiled at the DC FanDome, where Lynda Carter surprised everyone by appearing half-way through. 

Jenkins, who was as surprised to see her as the rest of the cast, called her ‘the reason we’re all here.’ 

The actress beamed as she greeted the others and flashed a ‘W’ sign for Wonder Woman with her hands. 

‘I am beyond excited,’ she said of the new film. ‘I’ve been a fan from day one of Patty’s when she was first attached to this film.’

‘When my daughter saw Gal as Wonder Woman, she said, “Mom, I finally get it — I finally understand why everyone idolizes you. I finally get what Wonder Woman means to everyone…” so thank you Gal…thank you Patty.’ 

Kristen had a moment to chat with her childhood idol and admitted she had Wonder Woman Underoos when she was a child.

Venus Williams also made a surprise appearance to ask if Wonder Woman and Cheetah could ‘ever put aside their differences and team up for doubles.’
