After starring in the blockbuster Batman Vs Superman movie as one of the founding members of the Justice League, Gal Gadot returns to the screen as Wonder Woman, in a movie that is set to showcase the origin of the character. The movie is set in the War times of the early 1900s, where Wonder Woman, as her alter ego Diana Prince, meets Chris Pines character, and the two of them hit it off- obviously. The movie also illustrates how Wonder Women was raised by the Greek Gods and trained in Amazonian ways to learn fighting, surviving, and hunting. As one of the prequels to the highly anticipated Justice League movie, Wonder Woman seems like a must see. Check out its trailer.

Although no official statement has been made by Marvel or Fox regarding its production dates and release dates, it is widely believed that the Infinity Wars story-line will finally be taken up to continue the Avengers series. The movie was announced to take two parts to tell the entire story, but officials at Marvel and Disney have now announced that the Infinity War movie will be a standalone one. The movie is also likely to involve numerous Marvel characters in addition to the ones already released. Infinity War and the subsequent Avengers movie in the following years will most likely be the swansong of Marvel movies. Will these Avenger movies be even more exhilarating than the previous ones? Come 2018, well see for sure.
