Wonder Woman final trailer introduces the villainous Doctor Poison
The classic DC villain gets her own spotlight in the latest look at Wonder Woman's solo outing
There's been some fairly intense discussion over Wonder Woman's marketing campaign - both in its apparent lack, and some questionable choices.
So it's reassuring to see Warner Bros. debut the film's final trailer in epic style at the MTV Movie Awards, with ass-kicking aplenty and an intriguing tease of the film's villain.
"The boys in the trenches called her Doctor Poison," Chris Pine's Steve Trevor seems to warn the Amazons. "Millions would die, the war would never end."
Played by Elena Anaya, Doctor Poison is a classic Wonder Woman villain in the comics and, though she's seen various guises, she's commonly a dangerous agent of the Axis powers intent on wreaking havoc on the US.
This trailer seems to give her a much greater focus than we've seen previously, though it's unlikely she'll be the film's major villain; David Thewlis is, in fact, playing the mighty god Ares in the film, and there have been brief glimpses of an epic battle between the him and our hero.
Wonder Woman sees the return of Gal Gadot in the titular role, alongside Robin Wright, Danny Huston, Connie Nielsen, and Lucy Davis.
Wonder Woman hits UK cinemas 1 June.
