With less than two years until Warner Bros.' Wonder Woman hits theaters, it's time that details surrounding the project begin to emerge.Den of Geek is reporting that the upcoming film will take place in three different time periods, with a chance that each period will become a separate act for the film.According to the site's anonymous source, the film will begin on the island of Themyscira, which fans of the Amazon princess — played by Gal Gadot (Fast Five, Furious 6) — will know is where her story originally began in the comic book series during the 1940's. Although there's not a specific date allotted for when Wonder Women would be on the island in the film, it will act as a completely separate period.The film will then move into a World War I setting, allegedly dropping the heroine smack dab into the middle of it all during 1916. While it's questionable as to why Warner Bros.' would use the first World War as opposed to second one — a motif has been used as the focal point or backdrop for thousands of movies in the past — there's a good possibility the studio wants to distance its period film from Marvel's Captain America: First Avenger, which takes place during World War II.Finally, the third act will see Wonder Woman enter the modern age and catch up time-wise with fellow Justice League members Batman and Superman. The events in the film's third act will reportedly set her up for her role in Justice League Part I, which is scheduled to be released at the end of 2017.

Following recent rumors that the film will go back to World War I, there's now rumors from Den of Geek that the film will split its three different acts across three different time periods: Ancient times for scenes set on Diana's home of Themyscira, the aforementioned World War I segment (specifically 1916), and then scenes set during the modern day.Interestingly, Den of Geek also posits that Wonder Woman will have different outfits in each time period, different takes on her classic comic book look, culminating with the "modern" outfit we see in Batman v Superman.

With Wonder Woman gearing up to begin production next month, we're getting a better sense of what to expect from the Amazon warrior's first solo cinematic adventure. We've know for several years that Gal Gadot will play the DCEU's Diana of Themyscira, Chris Pine was cast several months ago as love interest Steve Trevor, and multiple reports have indicated the movie will feature different time periods. Now there's new information reiterating that we might see classic foes Circe and Ares as the main antagonists.JoBlo has heard that Circe and Ares will be allied against the heroine in Wonder Woman, though Ares is more of a "puppet master" working behind the scenes. Ares will wear his standard mythological armor, while Circe's attire is described as a "cloth-based purple get up." Among the many mythological/mystical creatures that are said to appear in the movie is an army of "red or green demonic monsters with horns and wings" that Ares will send to prevent Wonder Woman from stopping Circe.Speaking of her, it's said she'll turn into a "Chimera-like monster" during her battle with Wonder Woman in the finale. It was also mentioned that there are scenes set in World War I that show how Diana defeated Ares the first time, though it's unclear whether these will be flashbacks or take place early in the story. The information lines up closely with a report released last month, which also said that Eva Green and San Bean are being looked at to play Circe and Ares, respectively.Circe and Ares are among Wonder Woman's greatest enemies in the comics (arguably ranking only behind The Cheetah), both of course being based upon the same-named Greek mythological figures. Circe is a powerful sorceress whose magic lets her do things like conjure illusions, shape shift, and control minds, but her main schtick is turning men into animals. Her most notable appearances in other media have been in the Justice League Unlimited episode "This Little Piggy" and the video game DC Universe Online.

If you've been paying attention, you already know that superhero movies are shockingly popular. Where they were once a more fringe endeavor, they're now very much the mainstream, and attracting the highest quality of actors to appear in them—just look at the incredible cast of Doctor Strange. Not to be left out, DC's upcoming Wonder Woman is looking to add Academy Award winner Nicole Kidman.The Amazonian warrior won't make her latest big screen appearance until next year's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, but according to the Wrap and their sources, Kidman is in negotiations to join her subsequent solo jaunt in 2017.There is no word on the precise nature of Kidman's role, though the report says that she will play a high-ranking Amazonian. At nearly six feet tall, the Australian actor could certainly cut an imposing figure on screen if she wanted to. Though she's most known for transformative dramatic roles, like her Oscar-winning portrayal of author Virginia Woolf in 2002's The Hours, how badass will it be to see Kidman get in there and throw down alongside of Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman? As if we weren't excited enough.While the identity of Kidman's character is being kept under lock and key, the report supposes that she could play Hippolyta. In the comics she is Dianna Prince's mother, as well as the queen of the Amazons, and Kidman definitely has a regal air and bearing about her, though we'll have to wait and see on that front. Though she's not an Amazon, we've heard that Circe is likely one of the villains in Wonder Woman (Eva Green is one name that has been mentioned in connection to the part), and how freaking great would it be to see Nicole Kidman play the antagonistic sorceress?

We'll have to treat all of this as a rumor for now of course, but Heroic Hollywood reckon they've uncovered some very interesting information regarding the motivations of the villains in Patty Jenkins' solo Wonder Woman movie, which is scheduled to begin shooting in London very soon.We've already heard that Ares (possibly Sean Bean) and Circe (maybe Eva Green) would serve as the main antagonist in the film (though this is still unconfirmed), but now we might just have details on what drives them, and how they come into conflict with Gal Gadot's Princess Diana.According to the site, Ares will use Circe to draw out Wonder Woman and keep her busy while he attempts to get his hands on an Amazonian sword which would grant him unlimited power, and allow him to take over Olympus. Ares, the God of War, feeds off of the negative energy generated by death and destruction, so his plan is to kick-start World War III.They also mention the possibility of a cameo from Batman, who would observe Diana's attempts to stop the bad guys. Apparently, she will still be searching for the sword in Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice when the Dark Knight approaches her about what he witnessed.
