Plot
Centuries ago, the Mesopotamian gods were cast into the underworld after a war with rival deities. Among them was Ereshkigal, the goddess of death and silence, who vowed to one day reclaim the surface world. Her prison—the crypt-city of Eridu—was buried beneath the desert and forgotten by time.
In the present day, an A.R.G.U.S.-sanctioned archaeological dig led by Dr. Alexander Knox and former soldier Ashur uncovers the sealed gates of Eridu in southern Iraq. When Ashur unwittingly activates a ritual chamber, a fracture ripples across the desert, awakening Ereshkigal and unleashing plagues that cause mass disappearances. Sensing the imbalance, Queen Hippolyta's spirit appears in Themyscira’s sacred pool—warning that the old gods are rising.
Elsewhere, Diana Prince lives in solitude within a nomadic village in northern Mongolia, having abandoned her role as Wonder Woman after centuries of disillusionment. She is visited by Damian Wayne, sent by Batman to retrieve a forgotten Amazonian relic—one that now reacts violently to Ereshkigal’s return. Though wary of the world she left behind, Diana agrees to accompany Damian into the desert. As Ereshkigal spreads her influence through plagues and nightmares, her general, the resurrected war god Ninurta, wages destruction across Middle Eastern cities, seeking to weaken humanity’s faith in their institutions. A young mystic named Zahra, possessed by a fragment of Ereshkigal’s essence, becomes the gods’ herald on Earth—speaking in dead tongues and turning human faith into weapons.
Diana, Damian, and Ashur race to stop Ereshkigal from merging the underworld with the mortal realm. Along the way, Diana confronts visions of Queen Hippolyta and past Amazons who question her abandonment of her divine duty. The trio locates Ishtar, the Mesopotamian goddess of love and war, imprisoned in a ruined temple. Disillusioned by her kin’s cruelty, Ishtar hesitantly joins them.
In a final confrontation beneath Eridu, Diana duels Ninurta while Damian disarms the resurrection engine. Ashur sacrifices himself to sever the divine leyline binding the gods to the mortal world, allowing Diana to channel the strength of her Amazonian ancestors. She defeats Ereshkigal by using her lasso to reveal the goddess's true face—one of grief, not vengeance—and casts her back into the underworld.
As the sands settle and the desert returns to silence, Diana reclaims her mantle as Wonder Woman. She entrusts Damian with the ancient Amazonian relic and tells him to remind his father that the old gods may have faded—but not all of them were cruel.
In a mid-credits scene, Ishtar wanders the ruins of Babylon, sensing the stirrings of another godly presence—one that did not fall with the rest. In the post-credits scene, Amanda Waller meets Diana in Themyscira’s ruined temple. She offers her classified intel: the seal that kept the gods buried came from the Phantom Zone—and it is breaking open elsewhere.

Production
Development
In October 2025, DC Studios confirmed Wonder Woman: Gods of Dust as the third feature in the rebooted DC Cinematic Universe, following the releases of Superman: Legacy of Tomorrow and The Brave and the Bold. The film was conceived as a reintroduction of Wonder Woman under a new continuity. Jennifer Kent, best known for The Babadook and her mythic, horror-tinged style, was chosen to direct. Academy Award-winning screenwriter Emerald Fennell was tapped to write the screenplay.
Fennell described the film as “a descent into lost memory and myth, where gods aren't just symbols—they're consequences.”
Pre-production
Pre-production began in early 2026, with concept art focusing on sun-bleached ruins, cursed relics, and the sand-swallowed cities of forgotten pantheons. Ana de Armas was cast as Wonder Woman in April 2026 following a global search. Roman Griffin Davis was confirmed to return as Damian Wayne in a supporting crossover role, continuing threads from The Brave and the Bold.
Filming
Principal photography began in June 2026 and is expected to wrap in November. Location shooting has taken place in Wadi Rum (Jordan), the Sahara (Morocco), and soundstage interiors at Pinewood Studios. Visual effects are being provided by Framestore and Wētā FX, with a focus on blending epic action and surreal mythological horror.
Marketing
A teaser image was unveiled at DC FanDome 2026, showing Diana standing before a crumbling ziggurat, her glowing lasso reflecting off sand-covered ruins. The film's tagline, "The Old Gods Rise," was revealed alongside the first official logo. A teaser trailer is expected in spring 2027.
Release
Wonder Woman: Gods of Dust is scheduled to be released theatrically in the United States on August 26, 2027. It will be the third entry in the DC Cinematic Universe and part of Chapter One: Crisis.
