Wonder Woman could become a brutal villain in Flashpoint

There is (always) no director for the Flash movie, but plenty of rumors. This was caused by Warner Bros. himself, when the comic con presentation of the new DC superhero films announced the title for the solo film, which is actually none: Flashpoint is to come to the cinema in 2020 and takes its name from a famous Storyline from comics. Now there are rumors about a performance of Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) in the film, which leads to a nice thought game. If Flashpoint follows the comics, the Amazon warrior could mutate to the tyrannical villain.

The basis for speculation is a remark in a Forbes article on the importance of Wonder Woman for the future of the DC Extended Universe. Towards the end, it is mentioned that "Gal Gadot will slip into the role of Wonder Woman in Flashpoint's upcoming production". An official confirmation does not exist, but ScreenCrush has counted one thing and one thing: If Gal Gadot plays in an adaptation of the Flashpoint story, she could play a villain.

Because Geoff Johns' Flashpoint Arc plays in an alternative time line, where Barry Allen is the only one who has a clue that something is wrong. Cyborg is a hero of the Supermans format, Bruce Wayne is dead, and his father Thomas moves as a Batman through the night and the steel man is captured by the US government. Now to the decisive point for these speculations: In the flashpoint world, Diana of Themyscira is the cruel ruler of the Amazons. An affair between Aquaman and Wonder Woman leads to the amazon Aquaman's wife Mera murdered, which culminates in a war between Amazons and Atlantis. Aquaman overflows half of Europe (can happen) and Wonder Woman gains control over the rest. Millions of people die in this conflict, where Wonderwoman assassins many known faces from the comic story.

Will we see Wonder Woman in Flashpoint as a tyrant? Sure, first of all, the DCEU is not planned as consistently and foresightedly as the films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Wonder Woman, however, could very well become the Tony Stark of the DCEU, which is to lure the audience into other films. However, even if it appears in Flashpoint, it is by no means certain that the Kinofilm will follow the comics in detail. Anyone who wants to experience Wonder Woman before as a moving picture scoundrel, can look at the animation film Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox.

Next we'll see Gal Gadot in the Wonder Woman costume - and that's for sure if Justice League celebrates its German Kinostart on 16.11.2017.
