Get the latest Robin Wright Justice League details below.
Warning: spoilers for Wonder Woman ahead.
We knew that Connie Nielsen, the actress who plays Hippolyta (Wonder Woman’s mother), would be popping up in Justice League, but thanks to a new interview with the L.A. Times, we know that all three women will have parts in the next DCEU movie. When asked if fans will eventually see more of the relationship between Hyppolyta and Diana, the actresses responded:
Nielsen: And [Wright and I] got to do more in “Justice League” as well. As sisters as well. Kind of badass as well. We can’t say much, but …
Gadot: Of course; the mother and daughter relationship is always a beautiful but complex relationship. I think that there’s a lot more to explore.
Wright: And more of the story, you get some of the history.
To list all of the reasons why Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman is great would take the rest of the day, so for brevity’s sake, I’ll limit the praise in this article only to the cast. Gal Gadot and Chris Pine absolutely own this movie, but how awesome was it to see a bunch of badass actresses – and not the latest batch pretty young things, but true Hollywood veterans – clad in armor kicking ass on Themyscira? Jenkins has spoken briefly about some ideas for a sequel, but she’s not even officially signed on to direct Wonder Woman 2 yet, so I’m relieved that we don’t have to wait very long to see these women in action again.
