(JTA) — Warner Brothers released its first official trailer for “Wonder Woman,” starring Israeli actress Gal Gadot in the title role.
The trailer debuted Saturday at the annual Comic-Com in San Diego, California.
Taking place during the World War I era, the movie will introduce Wonder Woman’s alter ego, Diana Prince, and her origins on the Amazonian island of Themyscira.
“Wonder Woman” is scheduled to open in theaters in June 2017. The character was introduced in DC Comics movies several months ago in “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.” She is also scheduled to appear in the superhero film “Justice League,” which comes out in November 2017.
“Wonder Woman has the heart of a human and the strength of a goddess, and combination of the two is very powerful,” Gadot said during a question-and-answer session at Comic-Con.
“Knowing how many people care so much for this character … it was important to portray [her] in a way everyone can relate,” Gadot also said.
