Wonder Woman is DC's most iconic female superhero, and her two-film solo series stands as some of the DCEU's most critically acclaimed work. Here's how to watch Diana Prince's story in the best order.
Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman made history as DC's first major female-led superhero film, and director Patty Jenkins delivered a WWI-set origin story that became a cultural touchstone. The sequel shifted to the 1980s and introduced new challenges for Diana. Whether you're watching for the first time or revisiting before a new DC project, this guide covers the complete Wonder Woman solo film series.
🕐 Release Order
The two Wonder Woman films were released in a clean sequential order, and release order is the best way to experience Diana's arc.
- Wonder Woman (2017)
- Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)
Diana also appears in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) and Justice League (2017) within the wider DCEU. These films provide important context for her character's modern-day persona between the two solo films.
📖 Story Chronology
Chronologically, the first Wonder Woman film is set during WWI (1918), while the sequel is set in 1984—making release order and story order the same.
- Wonder Woman (2017) — set in 1918 during WWI
- Wonder Woman 1984 (2020) — set in 1984
Which Order Should You Choose?
Watch the original Wonder Woman before 1984—the first film is essential for understanding Diana's origin and her emotional state in the sequel. For the full DCEU experience, watching Batman v Superman before Wonder Woman 1984 adds some context, but the solo films work well independently. The original 2017 film is widely considered one of DC's strongest entries and is a great starting point for DCEU newcomers.
