Will Wonder Woman be any good? There’s plenty of reason to doubt. DC’s track record with their cinematic universe is shaky at best, with neither the muddled, joyless Batman v Superman or cluttered, catastrophic Suicide Squad inspiring much confidence. Rumors of behind-the-scenes chaos only substantiate the narrative that something is off in DC’s creative process.
And yet, it’s hard not to want Wonder Woman to succeed, and there are a few reasons to be optimistic. Director Patty Jenkins has made great movies like Monster. Star Gal Gadot was one of the bright spots in Batman v Superman. And then there are the trailers, which continue to look pretty fun.
