"Wonder Woman 3", which has not yet started filming, has just exploded new actors, and the drama version of Wonder Woman actor Linda Carter will return, and her role "Asteria" may have more scenes.
In Wonder Woman 1984, when she finally fought the Leopard Woman, Wonder Woman wore a golden cloak of armor from Asteria. It is said that in ancient times, the Amazons followed Hippolyte to Paradise Island in order to avoid humans. Asteria stayed behind to stop the humans from tracking, and she was wearing this set of golden armor. This set of armor is made from all the armor of the Amazons, which is enough to fight against the entire world.
The character originally appeared in Wonder Woman 1984 as the original user of the Golden Armor, but in the Easter egg at the end of the film, the true image of Astriya appears. To the shock of Wonder Woman fans, she was played by Linda Carter, the character of the 1975 version of Wonder Woman.
Linda Carter's version of Wonder Woman, which lasted for three seasons, now seems to have obvious shortcomings in every way. But with his height of 177cm and excellent appearance, Carter still created a generation of classic images. The image she created before Gail Gadot has been the benchmark template for the live-action version of Wonder Woman.
After appearing in the Easter egg of the previous film, fans have been very concerned about Carter's subsequent appearances. Filming of Wonder Woman 3 has not yet officially begun, and recently Hippolyte (Wonder Woman's mother) actress Connie Nelson revealed in an interview that she is very much looking forward to working with Linda Carter in the future.
Nelson said she hadn't met Carter before, and Carter's role in Wonder Woman 1984 was only the Easter egg part, and the two didn't enter the same scene, so they didn't intersect. Later, the encounter at the premiere of the film was the first time the two met. But then, Nelson expressed excitement that the two would finally have a chance to meet on screen.
"Wonder Woman 3" has no more information flowing out, and I don't know how many scenes Asteria will have and how much to do with the main plot line. But this is not a completely new character, she appears in both Greek mythology and DC comics.
In Greek mythology, Asteria was a titan goddess who was not too famous. The name had the meaning of "star" in ancient Greece, and it once fell into the sea to transform into an island, so it is generally believed that Asteria is a meteor goddess. Naming the female Amazonian played by Linda Carter as "Asteria" should also use this meaning to highlight her past glory and outlier status.
In DC Comics, there are also characters named Asteria. The comic book version of Artria appears in Elseworld's Finest: Supergirl & Batgirl, in the universe of Earth 1098. The character is a member of the Justice Society under Wonder Woman and is also an Amazonian. She only briefly ran the dragon suit after her debut, and three generations of Robin Tim Drake tracked down the Joker, without going any further into the scene.
Given that Linda Carter is 70 years old this year, wonder woman 3 shouldn't have too many action scenes for her. Corresponding to the setting in the manga, it will probably push her to a supporting role such as a detective and a think tank, and of course, it may also be a simple cameo.
