From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

With filming on Wonder Woman 1984 (not a crossover with Orwell's famous book) underway, Patty Jenkins has been posting various photos from the set online.

First, the director revealed an image of Chris Pine as Steve Trevor, a surprise for everyone who watched the first Wonder Woman due to the character's fate.

Jenkins has now unveiled a first look at a very exciting addition to the cast: Kristen Wiig as Barbara Minerva, the shape-shifting archaeologist who can transform into a human/cheetah person.

The only other confirmed cast member is Narcos and Game of Thrones actor Pedro Pasco, who will play an unspecified key role.

Original on-screen Wonder Woman Lynda Carter is also rumoured to have a role, although this has not been confirmed.

Geoff Johns and David Callaham penned the script with Jenkins. The sequel, which acts as a follow-up to the 2017 blockbuster, that grossed $817 million at the box office, is set for release in cinemas on 1 November 2019.
