Watch the Wonder Woman 1984 opening scene online. The highly anticipated follow up to the 2017 DCEU hit Wonder Woman is finally about to premiere this Christmas after months of delays. Early reviews for Wonder Woman 1984 praise the sequel for being heartfelt. The sequel features the return of Gal Gadot as Diana Prince/Wonder Woman, Chris Pine as Steve Trevor, Kristin Wiig as Cheetah, and Pedro Pascal as Maxwell Lord.
Wonder Woman 1984 was initially scheduled to be released in November 2019, but then was pushed forward to June 2020. It was delayed again when the ongoing coronavirus pandemic forced many movies to delay their planned release dates in theaters or go straight to streaming. Wonder Woman 1984 ended up going both directions due to a major Warner Bros. decision for all of their 2021 films to be released simultaneously in theaters on HBO Max. As a result, fans in the U.S can catch Wonder Woman 1984 in theaters and on HBO Max this Christmas, with HBO Max subscribers having free access to Wonder Woman 1984 for one month. Thankfully there's been no shortage of promotional materials to keep fans engaged during the long wait for the actual movie, from an epic trailer that spotlights Diana and Steve Trevor's romance to colorful character posters of the cast.
Now fans can check out the actual opening scene of Wonder Woman 1984, thanks to a sneak peek from Warner Bros. Pictures. Gadot can be heard reminiscing about her past, which intertwines perfectly with a scene of young Diana eager to compete amongst older Amazons in the Amazon Olympics. Check out the exciting clip below.
One huge benefit of showing a flashback of Diana's childhood is the chance to see more of the amazing Amazons on Themyscira. It's a clever way to bring back Robin Wright as Antiope, who wisely reminds young Diana to remember that, "Greatness is not what you think. Pace yourself and watch." Gal Gadot herself revealed that the opening scene made her cry, because she felt like the scene could demonstrate to her two daughters and other young girls just how powerful they can be. Plot-wise, fans will wonder if Diana will heed Antiope's advice during the events of Wonder Woman 1984 while she deals with possibly losing Steve Trevor again and battling Cheetah and Maxwell Lord.
One early review for the movie says that Wonder Woman 1984 was filled with love, hope, and wonder, and the opening scene seems to evoke that feeling perfectly. It's been three years since Wonder Woman bravely walked alone through No-Man's Land. However, with this promising opening scene revealed, the sequel will likely be worth the wait, making the release of Wonder Woman 1984 the ultimate Christmas present for fans.
