Apart from Maxwell Lord, Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman will also clash with Kristen Wiig's Barbara Ann Minerva, an archaeologist who will transform into The Cheetah.



To add to the buzz, a still of actor in his retro look, seated in the back of a car has been making the rounds on social media.


As per the comics, Maxwell was forever changed by the discovery of his father's dead body, killed in an apparent suicide. He became an opportunist businessman and decided that for the betterment of humanity, superheroes needed to be eradicated.


It was announced last year that Pedro would be a part of the superhit superhero flick, but details of his role remained undisclosed until now.


Chris Pine is also on board to reportedly reprise his role as Steve Trevor.


'Wonder Woman 1984' is scheduled to release on June 5, 2020.
