Wonder Woman Trailer Breakdown: 23 Things You Need To See
18. An Assassination Attempt?
It hasn't yet been confirmed, but this sequence seems to confirm Danny Huston as a villain, as Hippolyta's voice-over urges her daughter to be careful. The fact that he's wearing a German commander's uniform seems to doubly confirm his threat (even if the details appear to be from the Second World War uniform).
It also looks suspiciously like Diana's beautiful ball-gown hides her intent. The way it's set up, it appears she's intent on killing Huston's military leader.
Later we see her cast off the same dress while riding on horseback fast through the forest - an escape attempt immediately after this?
Could this attempt on Huston's life be what Chris Pine's voice-over later says he "can't let her do"?
