Final WONDER WOMAN Trailer Reveals a Second Villain

We’re less than a month away from Wonder Woman‘s solo movie debut, and Gal Gadot‘s title heroine has us excited to see another side of the DC Extended Universe. Sunday night, the final trailer for Wonder Woman debuted, and it confirmed that the Amazon heroine won’t just be going up against the God of War. There’s a second villain from Wonder Woman’s comic book pantheon waiting to take her on, and we’ve got the details in today’s Nerdist News!

There are some minor spoilers ahead for Wonder Woman, so consider yourselves warned!

Join host, and a person we secretly suspect is actually Wonder Woman, Jessica Chobot, as she tells us everything you need to know about Dr. Poison. The trailer didn’t even make us guess who she was, and it called her by name! We applaud the way the idea that not everything has to be a freakin’ mystery in the movie, but Dr. Poison isn’t exactly well known even among comic book fans. However, Dr. Poison does have a history that goes back to some of Wonder Woman’s earliest comic book adventures in World War II, although the movie will take place during WWI.

While Dr. Poison may not present a true physical challenge to Wonder Woman, she may end up being more dangerous to humanity than Ares himself. In the comics, Dr. Poison has a reputation for creating mind altering formulas. In fact, Chris Pine’s Steve Trevor has a line in the trailer that suggests Dr. Poison’s endgame is a war that never ends. And she may very well have found a way to chemically compel soldiers to fight well beyond the point of reason.
