Wonder Woman 1984: 10 Mind-Blowing Leaked Plot Details Revealed
7. Maxwell Lord's Introduction And Steve Trevor's Return
Businessman Maxwell Lord unexpectedly arrives at the Smithsonian and bumps into both Diana and Barbara. After inviting them to a party he's throwing, we learn that Lord is broke and getting desperate, especially after being threatened by Simon Stagg about another of his oil deals going wrong. Keen to make his son proud of him and not lose his fortune, Lord unexpectedly seduces Barbara at the aforementioned party.
It turns out that he hired the men who were attempting to steal those artefacts and then nabs that mysterious rock himself from behind her back as they kiss.
While all this is happening, Diana finds herself harassed by a man claiming to know her. She doesn't recognise him but after he repeats some lines said by Steve Trevor in 2017's Wonder Woman movie, both Diana and the audience start to see him as Chris Pine's war hero. He's returned from the dead in a new body and tells Diana that while he remembers dying, the next thing he knew, he woke up in a bed in the 1980s.
