The first trailer for Wonder Woman: Bloodlines has arrived, and it showcases the movie’s diverse array of talent.

The trailer for Wonder Woman: Bloodlines is finally upon us. The DC Animated Movie Universe is looking to give us an installment in the franchise for Wonder Woman. In fact, this is her first animated feature since 2009’s Wonder Woman.

Rosario Dawson reprises her role as Wonder Woman for the sixth time. With Wonder Woman: Bloodlines under her belt now, it seems Rosario Dawson is not leaving this role anytime soon. If you’re not too familiar with the franchise and some of her work, she was Gail in the Sin City films and Claire Temple in the Marvel/Netflix shows.

A important casting note must always be taken into account for Hippolyta. She is Queen of  Themyscira and the mother of Wonder Woman. One cannot cast just anybody for such an important role. The queen herself, Cree Summer is playing Queen Hippolyta. Must one begin with Cree Summer’s resume’ of over thirty decades? You fans likely recognize her as Max from Batman: Beyond and Vixen from Batman: The Brave and The Bold. With Cree Summer’s long history and range, she can definitely bring much to the role – pride, respect, honor, royalty, motherly love and authority.
