what war is wonder woman based on
Where It Will Be Set. According to the second report concerning the World War I setting, part of the movie will be set in 1916. The massive conflict has been going on for two years at this point, and itâs only another year before the United States officially joins the Allied Powers. This means Wonder Woman is taking a similar approach to the 1970s Wonder Woman TV seriesâ first season, which was based in World War II.
