Neither Jenkins nor Pascal - who also starred in Game of Thrones - have revealed exactly who he will play in the sequel, but he certainly looks at home.
Dressed in a classic three-piece, pin-striped suit with a yellow silk tie and matching pocketsquare, he sits in the car, looking rather menacing as he eyeballs the camera.
Pascal himself shared the photo on his own Instagram with the caption: "Power suit. Power hair."
Fans have guessed that he may portray Maxwell Lord, who funded and co-founded The Justice League and eventually descended into a man with mind-controlling powers.
Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot is returning to the titular role of the Themysciran warrior princess, with Chris Pine also set to make a comeback (fans aren't quite sure how, given that he was definitely dead by the end of the first movie).
Kristen Wiig joins the cast as one of Diana's most notorious foes from the comic book series: archaeologist Barbara Minerva, a.k.a Cheetah.
Jenkins, Gadot and Pine recently appeared at San Diego Comic-Con to tease the film's 80s setting and show some early footage of Wonder Woman beating up some bad guys.
Jenkins told the audience: "One of my favourite things about making the first movie in World War I, 1917, was getting to know the era. When you dig into these eras, they as metaphors signify things that are true always. There was something about [the 1980s] that symbolised the beginning of modernity and the mechanized world."
Wonder Woman is set for release on 1 November, 2019.
