Right now, everything seems particularly dark. There’s never been a greater need for heroes to light the way – powerful figures that exude hope, truth, positivity and justice. It’s the perfect time, then, to look forward to a brand new Wonder Woman adventure with Gal Gadot returning as Diana Prince, the brightest star of the DCEU.
The new issue of Empire goes on set of the hugely anticipated Wonder Woman 1984, getting the full story on the rare sequel that isn’t headed into deeper darkness, but bolder brightness. It’s a whole new era for the franchise, and one that sends Wonder Woman into a new era too – blasting into the DayGlo 1980s, introducing a whole array of colourful new characters, and – somehow – bringing Chris Pine’s Steve Trevor back into the fray. Featuring exclusive images and interviews with Gadot, Pine, Kristen Wiig, Pedro Pascal, and director Patty Jenkins, Empire has the full lowdown on all things WW84. Here’s the hero herself standing tall on the cover of the June 2020 issue.
And this month’s subscriber cover, created exclusively for Empire by Christopher Lee Lyons, sees Wonder Woman brandishing the Lasso Of Truth in a dazzling display of vibrant neon.
Also inside this month’s mag, Tom Hanks writes exclusively for Empire about hope and his new movie Greyhound, we catch up with Russell Crowe to look back at Gladiator 20 years on, and get warm and fuzzy in brand new feelgood section, The Comfort Zone. The Wonder Woman 1984 issue arrives on Thursday 16 April – here’s how you can get a copy while social distancing. Stay home, stay safe, and we hope you enjoy.
