6 Badass Details About the Wonder Woman Movie That You Need to Know

Fast & Furious actress Gadot beat out former Bond girl Olga Kurylenko to play the titular character. She'll be joined by Chris Pine, Robin Wright, Connie Nielsen, and Danny Huston.

WWII pilot Captain Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) washes up on the shores of Diana Prince's female-only homeland, Paradise Island, in the midst of the small nation's major power struggle. She agrees to leave her home for the first time with him and embarks on an action-packed exploration of the rest of the world that involves plenty of ass-kicking.

Despite the fact that Wonder Woman traditionally wears stars and stripes, she's not American, which makes Israeli-born Gadot's casting even more exciting. There was initially a small bit of outcry surrounding her being tapped for the role, but so far she seems to be doing the original Wonder Women — Lynda Carter and Cathy Lee Crosby — justice.

You might be used to seeing Pine leading films like Star Trek and The Finest Hours, but the actor is more than fine with taking a step back to let Gadot shine while he plays her love interest, Steve Trevor. In a recent interview with Total Film, Pine expressed his excitement at stepping back from being a leading man: "Patty's got a tremendous sense of story, I couldn't be happier to be supporting Gal in what's going to be the first female-driven superhero film. I think in the world today we've had plenty enough of male-driven everything and it's finally time to see how wonderful the world can be with beautiful, strong, intelligent women kicking some major ass."

Wonder Woman will hit theaters on June 2.

If the movie ends up being even half as badass as the first trailer that debuted at Comic-Con, we're in for a real treat.
