Asteria then used this to fight all of the enemies of the Amazons as they evacuated their home and migrated to Themyscira.Īccording to the legend, all that was found of Asteria was that armor, so she was believed to have sacrificed herself for her people.

Instead, the 1980s-set movie ends with a tribute to the 1970s, and a woman who means a lot to Wonder Woman fans. While there is a post-credits (or rather mid-credits) scene in WW84, it is not the kind of scene that sets up the next movie in the DC universe or the upcoming 'Snyder cut' of Justice League. This means that DC Comics fans are starting to watch the sequel starring Gal Gadot and are wondering whether there is an after-credits scene that sets up important plot points for a potential third Wonder Woman film.

Granted, her appearance in Wonder Woman 1984’s mid-credits scene did seem like a tribute to the iconic actor and her time playing Diana in the 1970s TV show.

The character is one of Wonder Woman’s most important arch-enemies in the comics and yet she was mostly a secondary villain in Wonder Woman 1984.

Fans would enjoy seeing Kristen Wiig return as Barbara Minerva / Cheetah.
