It has been nearly 70 years since the events of the first
Wonder Woman film, and Diana Prince (Gal Gadot) has been living something of a solitary life since. Now, in 1984, she still operates as Wonder Woman from time to time but has mostly spent the past decades working in academia, never ageing a day as those she cared about grew older and died around her. A chance meeting with another academic, Barbara Minerva (Kristen Wiig), will soon change both women's lives forever when Barbara comes into possession of a mysterious ancient rock – a rock that is wanted by TV star and self-professed millionaire, Maxwell Lord (Pedro Pascal), for his own self-serving agenda.
