I can't stop watching these hectic lasso moments in the 'Wonder Woman 1984' trailer

Is she... riding LIGHTNING? ⚡️

Not since all the operatic, dog-fuelled action of John Wick Chapter 3 have I needed to watch a trailer again and again and again.

Warner Bros. dropped the official trailer for Wonder Woman 1984 on Sunday, the long-awaited sequel to the Gal Gadot-starring superhero smash, and there is a lot going on.

The film will take place in the '80s, during which our Amazonian hero Wonder Woman (Gadot) will face off against Cheetah (Kristen Wiig) during the Cold War. But the trailer doesn't really show much of that, instead beginning with a nice wine pal chat between the two. What it does show, however, is a metric fuck-ton of shopping centre lasso action that I can't begin to stop watching.

OK, here's the trailer, and I'll wait while you enjoy:

Early on, there appears to be a scene in a shopping center that threatens to rival the Battle of Starcourt Mall in Stranger Things Season 3 (well, it'll try).

Wonder Woman's golden Lasso of Truth comes in handy as a means to get some sweet air before landing perfectly on those... wedges?!

Then, our hero handily takes out all the security cameras using her tiara as a boomerang before going for an all-powerful slide.

Then, friends, Diana Prince heads to the White House, and not only deflects foolish security guard bullets with her trusty lasso, but also flicks one out of an assailant's gun and smashes it with her goddamn cuff, in what could be a cheeky throwback to the unforgettable "No Man's Land" scene from the first film.

But the lasso ain't done — it's got dudes to whirpool-smack in the chest.

Then, we've got this epic shot of Amazons sprinting like blazes in unison, combined with a shot of Wonder Woman doing the same down the street and again, lassoing casually into the sky.

And then... This. Incredible. Kick.

We're not done.

Oh, more? Here's Diana using oh, I don't know, strikes of LIGHTNING as an attachment for her swinging lasso.

And then, finally, we get a peek at that new suit, which has wings, people.

I need a sitdown. Luckily, I have a long time to do so. Wonder Woman 1984 hits cinemas June 2020.
