The 80th-anniversary celebration aims to illuminate the superhero's message of hope and empowerment with original content, commemorative comics, books, and global fashion collections and experiences. This campaign will lead to a worldwide celebration of Wonder Woman Day on October 21.
The "Wonder Woman: television titles are reborn with the new "retro-remix" video, tapping into the nostalgia of Wonder Woman and featuring Gal Gadot doing the signature spin that Lynda Carter made famous in the original series. DC and WarnerMedia announced a video inspired by Wonder Woman to showcase women's impact worldwide and the powerful women connected to its content and products. This year, WarnerMedia will produce videos that shine a spotlight on 80 "Women of Wonder," including real women, network journalists and talent, cultural figures, experts, influencers and celebrities who – like Wonder Woman herself – are advancing representation in their fields, acting as real-life superheroes and giving us reasons to "Believe in Wonder."
