Danny Huston’s character isn’t just some general.
He’s fighting Diana in the trailer.
Sure, he could just be a human that she’s taking down, but it doesn’t look like that to me. This looks like an actual fight between people of equal strength. I don’t know if she’d be swinging him around with her lasso if he was a human.
I’m not sure who he is yet though. He could be Ares, but there are other possibilities. Share your theories.
