As much as I LOVED the Wonder Woman trailer my only disappointment was that Steve never called her "Angel" but other than that it was great!!!
If they had included the word “Angel” anywhere in that trailer I would’ve squeed so much that my pharynx would have detached from my body and begged for early retirement.
I’m actually optimistic about having “Angel” included in the movie. The trailer gave us so much of the good stuff: Hippolyta, check! Etta freakin’ Candy, check! Steve Trevor, check! And more check! Actually, if I’m honest, I watched the trailer and thought “Wow, this is a lot of Steve Trevor.” It almost turned me off (and I’m #TeamSteve forever).
But thennnn I remembered THE VERY FIRST TRAILER *EVER* FOR WONDER WOMAN. I refer, of course, to All-Star Comics #8, the issue that introduced the world to Wonder Woman 75 years ago. Wonder Woman’s first appearance ever was buried in the pages of this 68 page comic. Her story was only 8 pages long. And 3 of these pages were dedicated to Steve Trevor.
See, via Steve Trevor, unsuspecting readers got suckered into picking up Sensation Comics #1, and then eventually into following their heroine into her own series. And after that initial display, Steve Trevor remained a steadfast love interest and never the focus. What I’m trying to say is that a trailer is meant to pique interest and preview only some of the high points (hence, “Angel” is still a possibility).
Incidentally, Steve Trevor did not call Wonder Woman “Angel” in their first appearance All-Star Comics…that didn’t come until Sensation Comics. BRB, having such a pure geek moment right now. Thanks for your question!
