'Wonder Woman 2' will reportedly pick up decades after 'Wonder Woman'

Here's hoping Diana gets to rock some neon leggings.

Diana Prince is moving onward and upward – all the way into the 1980s.

Or so claim the latest reports about Wonder Woman 2. According to Screen Rant and TheWrap, the DC superhero sequel will take place in the midst of the Cold War, with Diana battling the Soviet Union. This would seem to square with Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins' recent suggestion that the sequel will be set in more "contemporary" times.

In addition, Screen Rant has heard that Chris Pine will be back as Steve Trevor in Wonder Woman 2, which is a bit surprising. She may be an ageless immortal, but he definitely is not. Then again, this is a comic book movie – stranger things have happened. Or maybe we're thinking too big and this is just a flashback. Whatever the case, we're not about to complain about the reunion of one of the most romantic couples in superhero movie history.

Not much is known about Wonder Woman 2 at this point – including whether that'll actually be its title. It's safe to assume Gal Gadot will be back, and probably commanding a much heftier paycheck, and word is Patty Jenkins is also negotiating to return. But Warner Bros. has yet to announce when the film will start shooting or when it might hit theaters.

In short, it's very, very early days yet for this project, which means all of these details could yet change. But we would be remiss to deprive you of the opportunity to picture Diana and Steve rocking parachute pants and fanny packs.
