Girl power abounds in the new Wonder Woman flick, Tom Cruise stars in The Mummy, and sequels galore with Cars 3, Despicable Me 3 and Transformers: The Last Knight

Living on the all-female island of Themyscira, Amazon warrior Diana Prince’s (Gal Gadot) first encounter with a man is when American pilot Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) crash-lands and tells of the First World War. After her homeland is caught up in the battle, Diana decides to whip up a serving of her lasso of truth for the Central Powers. If you were one of the legions of young girls (or boys) in the 1970s who pretended to twirl into Lynda Carter’s Wonder Woman, then Gal Gadot’s big screen incarnation of the superhero is about to teach you a whole new set of show-stopping moves.
