General Antiope

Another Amazon based on Greek mythology, General Antiope is known as Princess Diana's aunt and trainer in the comics. Antiope and Hippolyta raised Diana jointly, and sometimes differed on their parenting philosophies. It'll be interesting to see how this dynamic is shown in the movie. General Antiope will be played by Robin Wright.
