A new report from Batman-News sheds light on the upcoming Wonder Woman movie and its central villain. It has long been rumored that the villain Ares was secretly pulling the strings in the upcoming film, and now the report claims that Harry Potter star David Thewlis will star as the villain, employing a mix of CGI and practical effects to bring the god of war to life.
