Before she was Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior with incredible strength, grace and wisdom and unparalleled in hand-to-hand combat, archery and sword fighting. Groomed by her Queen mother Hippolyta (Connie Nielsen), she is taught to use her mind as her greatest weapon and trained by Antiope (Robin Wright) her aunt to prepare for battle.
