10 New DC Extended Universe Characters To Look Out For In 2017
9. Antiope
Who's Playing Her? Robin Wright.
Who's Robin Wright? Since 2013, Wright has had a starring role on Netflix's popular House of Cards, but if you don't know her from that, then you'll likely know her from films like Unbreakable, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and Moneyball, as well as her most famous roles as Princess Buttercup in The Princess Bride and as Jenny in Forrest Gump.
What's She Appearing In? Wonder Woman.
Why You Should Be Excited: Audiences are going to meet a slew of faces when they visit Themyscira next year, but some will be more important than others, a notion that includes Wright's Antiope, Diana's aunt. With the World War I setting and Diana's trip into a larger world set to take the primary focus of the film, it's hard to gauge just how heavily her family's roles with be in the film, but there will be conflict nonetheless between Antiope and her sister, Hippolyta, when it comes to their differing views on how to raise Diana, something that will raise the personal stakes of the film as well as provide for some good culture clash when Steve Trevor washes up on the island's shore and kicks off Diana's desire to leave the island.
