Aliens. Are they out there? Is intelligent life in our cosmos possible, or are we the result of a singular flip of the coin that has yet to be repeated within our universe?

Warner Bros. have their eyes focused on Kingsman and X-Men: First Class director Matthew Vaughn to helm a sequel to Man of Steel that will hopefully not have a soul-crushing and depressing atmosphere as you believe that a man can fly and punch skyscrapers into dust.
While most people know of Wonder Woman, few know who she really is. And that’s something that director Patty Jenkins wants to expand upon with an origin that doesn’t explain who Diana of Themyscira is, but also defines her.
