Wonder Woman 1984 is only the latest in a long line of movies that have ventured into the District of Columbia to capture the backdrop of monuments and neoclassical architecture. But the mega pic is relatively rare in that is uses locations in the DMV — the moniker used to denote the greater metro area of the district and parts of Maryland and Virginia — so extensively. Rather, D.C. typically is used for establishing shots and much of the rest of principal photography is shot elsewhere.
