Wonder Woman 2 Rumored to Be Set in the 1980s

Chris Pine is also reported to return.

The sequel to this year's DCEU hit Wonder Woman may very well be set during the Cold War.

As per production details reportedly obtained by Screenrant,  Wonder Woman 2 will be set during the 1980s, and pit Diana against the Soviet Union in the Cold War's last days (The Wrap has subsequently reported that Screenrant's findings are correct). Producer Geoff Johns will return, and is currently developing a script for the sequel with Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins.

Spoilers for Wonder Woman ahead. 

Screenrant also reports that Chris Pine will be returning as Diana's love interest, Steve Trevor. Considering he was in a plane that blew up at the end of Wonder Woman, it'll be interesting to see how they weave his character into a new story if the report turns out to be true.

Jenkins has not yet officially signed on to direct the sequel, though talks are still ongoing.  Previous rumours around Wonder Woman 2 saw it reportedly having a contemporary setting.
