The debut trailer for Wonder Woman wowed fans and won the hype contest in a landslide. It’s already been viewed over 12.7 million times. For comparison, the next closest Comic-Con 2016 trailer is Justice League at over 7.1 million views. And that’s also a Wonder Woman movie. Couple that with the fantastic news that Oscar-winner Brie Larson has been cast as Captain Marvel, and it was a banner week for superheroines.
