Wonder Woman 3 (2022)

Wonder Woman 3 is an upcoming superhero film. It is the third film in the Wonder Woman series and an entry in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU).

Synopsis
Diana Prince (Gal Gadot) has always sworn to protect mankind - from chaos and destruction of its own making - as Wonder Woman for over a century. But in the present day, the more crimes she stops, the more people are on to her and bent on discovering her secrets. When a new threat rises, Diana must turn to unlikely allies and take on new enemies to save the world again - this time, from the mystical machinations of the wicked sorceress Circe (Tilda Swinton).

Plot
In 1918, Circe, an ancient sorceress who learned much of her magic from the Enchantress, discovers the demise of her father Ares at the hands of her sister Diana Prince, and vows to pick up where he left off and exact revenge on Diana.

Five years after Steppenwolf's invasion, (as depicted in both Justice League and Zack Snyder's Justice League), Diana now works for New York City's Museum of Natural History, while also fighting crime as Wonder Woman. One day, scientist Dr. Veronica Cale attempts to reveal evidence of Wonder Woman's activities throughout the last 100 years to US Senator Jason King, but rival scientist Professor Chemico shoots her down for her previous involvement with Lex Luthor. Cale orders her colleague, Thomas Blake, to obtain further evidence from Diana under the pretext of dating her. Unknown to her, he is an undercover CIA agent; instead, he warns Diana that Cale is on to her.

Meanwhile, Professor Chemico and his assistant Hugo Simmons, seeking to beat Cale to the Nobel Prize, travel to the Arctic to test a climate-control machine. Circe appears, transforming the machine into a gun that can generate ice and snow. Another scientist witnesses this and steals the gun, and takes up the moniker "Minister Blizzard" as he returns to the US. Meanwhile, King is attacked by a villain named Giganta, who possesses the ability to grow to giant size. Diana manages to protect hundreds of civilians with the help of her protégé, Cassie Sandsmark, who possesses similar powers to Diana. Former USAF pararescue woman Helen Alexandrios, whom Diana befriended, manages to rescue King with her cybernetic "Silver Swan" wingpack.

Unknown to Blake, Cale was partially responsible for Giganta's creation, and ordered her to kill King; she also discovered Circe and made a deal to sabotage Professor Chemico's project and eliminate him, with the intention of removing any obstacle in releasing her evidence. Circe also travels to Venturia, an Atlantean outpost, and recruits its Queen, Clea, discovering her hatred for mankind brought on by Orm Marius' campaign (as depicted in Aquaman). When they reach the surface, Helen confronts them alone, but Clea enslaves her and guides Clea to the Trident of Poseidon; in exchange, Clea gives her stolen Atlantean weaponry, and Minister Blizzard joins their cause. When Minister Blizzard arrives in New York, he begins causing the city to freeze over, although most of its inhabitants manage to leave the city first. Diana uses her Lasso of Truth on him, but he reveals Chemico and Simmons' location in the process, forcing Diana to travel to the Arctic and rescue them. Returning to the city, she witnesses the chaos and realizes Helen has been enslaved, and Circe manages to cast a spell that severely injures Diana, but Cassie rescues her.

Diana and Cassie manage to find Themiscyra, meeting Queen Hippolyta. As Diana is healed, she forgives Hippolyta for lying about Diana's heritage and destiny, and Hippolyta convinces her to have the same forgiveness towards mankind, including Cale and Chemico. Cassie repairs Diana's golden armor that originally belonged to the Amazon warrior Asteria, as well as obtaining various artefacts from the island, including Hermes' winged sandals and a lightning lasso previously owned by Ares, and they leave the island again.

Returning to New York, Diana and Cassie encounter Asteria, giving her back her repaired armor. With her help, they confront Clea, who now possesses the power of flight due to the trident and spell by Circe, and manage to defeat her and Giganta. They also destroy Blizzard's gun, causing the city to melt, and he is arrested by Blake's team. They fly to a satellite station used by Max Lord (as depicted in Wonder Woman 1984) as Circe begins using it to hold major cities ransom with the intention of enslavingor destroying mankind, unaware of her minions' defeats. Following a struggle, Diana frees Helen, and the group confront Circe again; Diana uses her Lasso of Truth to express her love for mankind, enraging Circe. Diana manages to redirect Circe's spells on her, stripping her of her magic, but spares her life.

In the aftermath, Cale realizes her shortcomings and attempts to hide her evidence, but Diana reveals herself to the world, and continues watching over it with the help of Cassie, and Helen, while Asteria returns to Themiscyra.

In a mid-credit scene, Amanda Waller and Rick Flag joke about recruiting Diana into Task Force X.
