A lute-playing bard condemned to a prison in the tundra for “grand larceny and skulduggery”, he stands before a clemency council, promising his jailers he’s reformed.

This sequel to 2017’s Wonder Woman is far removed in time from that film, which took place across World War I. Here, the ageless Amazonian, Diana Prince (Gal Gadot), is living in the 1980s, her daredevil pilot lover Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) long gone.
