The speculation about Ares as "Wonder Woman" villain has been going on for years. On January 10, an excerpt from French Studio Line Cine magazine, which was translated by Les Etoiles Heroique, suggested that Ares actually would be Diana Prince's nemesis.
"Why did Zeus create the Amazons?" the excerpt read. "Because shaping man in his image made his son Ares, incidentally a god of war, mad with jealousy, he convinces the guys to confront each other. To restore harmony between them, Zeus created the Amazons that Ares reduced to slavery. The Amazons revolt with the help of Zeus, who will die of the hand of his son having had time to find Themyscira, their haven of peace where they will grow Diana."
Both DC and Warner Bros. haven't officially announced the villain and who will play it. But rumors said that Danny Huston is the most likely actor to play the character.
"Wonder Woman" is scheduled to hit U.S. theaters on June 2. Gal Gadot is playing the female warrior and Chris Pine plays Steve Trevor. Also starring in the superhero movie are Robin Wright, Lucy Davis, Ewan Bremner, David Thewlis, Danny Huston, Elena Anaya and Lisa Loven Kongsli.
