First Look At Wonder Woman's Creepy Villain Ares Leaks
Meet your new favourite DC movie villain...
Hot on the tail of the reveal that David Thewlis is actually playing Wonder Woman villain Ares - and not Danny Huston as widely expected initially - the New York Toy Fair has once more offered up a spoiler of sorts by revealing what the character will look like. DC and Warner Bros must be delighted.
The design, which was unveiled as part of the tie-in line of toys for the movie, goes some way to explaining why the character was described as a mix of practical and CGI effects, and honestly, he looks great. Here he is in all his glory...
Kudos to Warner Bros for going with a classic design based on the comic book character and not seeking a new interpretation to distinguish the movie universe from the source (it wouldn't have been the first time, after all). The skull is a natural progression from the Injustice design of the character, and while some purists will no doubt call for the Roman gladiator-style helmet, this actually looks considerably more creepy.
And while it's inevitably going to be frustrating that the character has leaked, this should automatically add a good few hype notches for fans. Nothing gives a film the easy shot in the arm like a great villain being confirmed.
