Without realising what she is doing, the mousy Barbara wishes that she was more like her charismatic new friend Diana. Diana, meanwhile, wishes for the return of Steve, which allows the film to bring the character back from the dead, and to have fun with the concept of a war hero from an earlier era being puzzled by the modern world. You could quibble that he is too similar to another Steve played by another Chris: Marvel did the same man-out-of-time routine with Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), aka Captain America. But Pine plays the role with so much goofy, innocent charm, and so much romantic chemistry with Gadot, that you can forgive all the scenes in which he is confused and dazzled by escalators and break-dancers.
Shortly afterward, two things happen. Augustine becomes aware of a spacecraft named the Aether whose crew (played by Felicity Jones, David Oyelowo, Kyle Chandler, Demián Bechír and Tiffany Boone) is returning from a mission to explore a potentially habitable moon of Jupiter. Having lost their communication with Earth, they need to be warned not to come back. The second thing is the appearance of a small, apparently mute girl (Caoilinn Springall), who seems to have been left behind in the rush to evacuate. Dubbed Iris, after a drawing she makes of the flower, the child becomes Augustine’s responsibility, along with the necessity of making his way to a second, stronger antenna, some distance away, after the one at the observatory proves inadequate to connect with the Aether.
Indeed, WW84 is so positive that even the villains are sympathetic. Barbara ends up fighting Wonder Woman, but she is more of a wounded soul than a typical mass-murdering malefactor, and Wiig’s nuanced performance emphasises her humanity, even when she mutates into a cheetah. The other villain is Maxwell Lord (Pedro Pascal), a smarmy oil baron in a double-breasted suit who nabs the wishing gem. It may have been a mistake to cast an actor with a strong Chilean accent as a tycoon inspired by the all-American „Greed is Good“ anti-heroes of Wall Street and Dallas, but, again, Maxwell is more desperate than malign: there is a sweet fairy-tale aspect to a bad guy who causes chaos not by killing people but by granting their wishes.
She is, though, ultimately a supporting player in Ma Rainey. The true lead is Boseman, as Levee’s ambition and youthful swagger take center stage. In Levee, Wilson captures the swell of change, both destructive and vital. Levee stands on generational fault lines—between artistic traditions of the past and of the future, between old-timers born in the immediate shadow of slavery (and, of course, born into it) and the younger people eager to cast off the traumatic weight of history, to seize what they can in the present tense, violent and dangerous as that present still is.
