Wonder Woman movies in order
Wonder Woman Marathon

Wonder Woman (2017)

We're starting with Wonder Woman, the beginning of Diana Prince's journey, and the perfect start for your marathon. This film takes you to the enchanting island of Themyscira, home of the Amazon warriors led by Queen Hippolyta (Connie Nielsen) and the fierce general Antiope (Robin Wright). When Diana (Gal Gadot) enters the world of men during World War I, she meets Steve Trevor (Chris Pine), a pilot and spy on a mission. The film is a cool mix of mythology, action, and heart, and it really solidifies Diana's role as a heroine in the DCEU. With an awesome blend of goddess warrior storyline and heroic fantasy, this film not only shows off Diana's origin but also her growth in a world that needs her strength and compassion. The World War I setting gives the film a unique vibe in the superhero genre, and Patty Jenkins' direction makes the story feel both grand and personal. You won't want to skip this one. Trust us (and your Lasso of Truth).

Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

Flash forward to the 1980s setting in Wonder Woman 1984, where Diana once again saves the world, this time amidst neon colors, Cold War paranoia, and a hefty dose of eighties vibes. Here, she's living as a semi-anonymous heroine who occasionally steps out of the shadows to rescue innocents. And yes, there's an invisible jet reference that's pretty hard to miss. What makes this film stand out is the introduction of two new adversaries: Maxwell Lord (Pedro Pascal) and Barbara Minerva, aka Cheetah (Kristen Wiig). They're a different kind of threat than the divine enemies from the first film, and they challenge Diana emotionally and morally. The movie really drives home the themes of desire, loss, and power, and Gal Gadot once again shows why she's the ultimate iconic female superhero.

Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021)

Yes, we're going full team-up mode. Zack Snyder's Justice League is the ultimate version of the hero ensemble where Diana joins other DCEU icons like Batman (Ben Affleck), Superman (Henry Cavill), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), The Flash (Ezra Miller), and Cyborg (Ray Fisher). This film builds on Diana's character development from the previous films, showing her as a leader, a warrior, and a bridge between worlds. Here, we really take her role on the Justice League team to heart. This extended cut from Warner Bros. Pictures, directed by Zack Snyder, has four hours of epic DC battle scenes, deep mythology, and important storylines. Hey, think about the whole Superman resurrection thing, the hunt for the mother boxes, and the links to Atlantis and the Amazon temple realm. Diana's scenes on Themyscira are amazing, and with Steppenwolf and hints of Darkseid, the danger is at an all-time high. Plus, if you're a fan, you've got to check out the Watchtower future tease, it's a must-see!

Justice League (2017)

If you really want to see the differences, you can choose to watch the theatrical version of Justice League (2017) after the Snyder Cut. This version is shorter and more lighthearted, offering a different take on the team-up. A lot of fans are all about Snyder's vision, but it's interesting to see the differences in storytelling, character arcs, and tone. Gal Gadot's Diana is also a big deal here, and scenes with Bruce Wayne, Alfred Pennyworth (Jeremy Irons), Commissioner Gordon (J.K. Simmons), and her interactions with the rest of the team are pretty entertaining. It's like a "bonus viewing" for the true completists, or a chance to grab a pizza while your friends debate which version is better. Spoiler: it's the Snyder Cut.

Why This Order Works

If you watch the films in this order, Wonder Woman, then Wonder Woman 1984, and then Zack Snyder's Justice League, you'll follow Diana's story as it logically unfolds within the DCEU timeline. You can see how she goes from being a curious warrior to a powerful heroine who's trying to protect humanity, even when she's risking her own heart. This order also helps you spot the key moments and easter eggs that you might otherwise miss, like the significance of the Bracelets of Submission moment, subtle callbacks to her past, and the growing interconnectedness between the heroes of the DC universe. Plus, it keeps your marathon fresh and engaging, from ancient Greek mythology to futuristic team-ups, without feeling chaotic.

Tips for Your Ultimate Wonder Woman Binge

Plan your marathon wisely. If you're looking to binge-watch all four films in one day, start early. Or, if you'd rather spread it out, a weekend works great. Prepare snacks with a thematic touch. Imagine a Greek mezze spread for Themyscira, with neon jellybeans to capture that 80s vibe. Make sure you have a comfy place to sit. Diana would want you to feel heroic from your couch. If you want to learn more about the DCEU, check out movies like Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (for Diana's very first cameo), or Aquaman for more world-building. If you're wondering if there'll be a Wonder Woman 3, keep an eye on the rumors and updates. This warrior goddess is just getting started. In short, if you're into the Lasso of Truth or just want a night full of superheroes, battles, and style, the Wonder Woman movie marathon is the perfect escape. Diana Prince is your guide in a universe where strength and empathy go hand in hand.
