Steve Trevor (Chris Pine)
An American pilot working undercover for the British Allied Forces who is trying to get German intelligence about a new weapon of mass destruction back to his superiors. He’s a hero in his own right, enormously courageous, rogue-ish, but also a jaded realist. Even so, he knows the world deserves to be saved and that there’s goodness in humanity. Director Patty Jenkins adds, “It was super important to me that there be a Steve Trevor who we truly loved, who we truly needed, who made us laugh, who made us feel stronger, who was a great partner on the ride, but let Wonder Woman become the great Wonder Woman she needed to be.”
General Erich Ludendorff (Danny Huston)
A rogue officer in the German army with his own agenda, General Ludendorff is doing everything in his power to ensure that Germany does not give up the war by signing the armistice with the Allied forces. Meanwhile, he’s working with a mad scientist named Doctor Maru to create a gas weapon of mass destruction that he intends to drop on the frontlines whenever it’s ready. There may be more than meets the eye to General Ludendorff, as Doctor Maru has created some kind of gas treatment to increase his strength.
Doctor Maru (Elena Anaya)
A mad scientist who is General Ludendorff’s right-hand woman, she is quite experience and deadly when it comes to poison gas. Her face is covered by a porcelain mask from an unknown injury, and her voice is breathy and wispy, giving her a haunting presence. She’s dedicated to Ludendorff’s cause, though she’s not as confident that they will succeed in their plans.
Etta Candy (Lucy Davis)
Steve Trevor’s whip-smart secretary who is bubbly and energetic, she finds herself smitten with Diana’s confidence and spirit. She provides some comic relief and moments of levity in between the harsh realities of war.
Sir Patrick Morgan (David Thewlis)
A member of the war council who we meet as he is passionately speaking about peace and signing the armistice. When Steve and Diana show up with news of General Ludendorff’s plan for attack, he supports them, but no one else on the Allied forces is willing to jeopardize the peace process to end the war. This may seem to contradict the previous report we heard about David Thewlis playing Ares, but if you take a look at our theory about the villain, there’s a chance that this key figure in the war could still become Ares. (Note: the picture above is not from Wonder Woman as an image of David Thewlis in the movie hasn’t been officially revealed yet. The image is from The Boy in the Striped Pajamas.)
Charlie (Ewen Bremner), Sameer (Said Taghmaoui), and Chief (Eugene Brave Rock)
Charlie is one of the trusted reinforcements Steve Trevor brings in on the rogue mission to stop General Ludendorff’s impending attack. He’s a heavy drinker, shell-shocked by war with some post-traumatic stress, but still generally a cheerful guy. His specialty is sharpshooting.
Sameer is another in the small batch of Steve Trevor’s trusted allies. He is flirtatious and charming, and he can also speak multiple languages. But his most valuable asset is that he’s a master of disguise. Chief is the final of Steve Trevor’s helpful friends. He is an expert tradesman, which means he knows how to move people and goods through dangerous territory, especially the frontlines of World War I.

Ares (Unknown)
That’s everything we know about these key characters in Wonder Woman. This is all based on the 16 minutes of footage shown to us at Warner Bros. post-production facility in London, as well as the story presentation running through the first act of the movie. There may be more to see soon with a new Wonder Woman trailer on the way with Kong: Skull Island this week, so stay tuned for more soon.
