Wonder Woman 1984 has been issued a new release date by Warner Bros. Fans can now expect the film October 2, 2020.
The movie is initially scheduled for June 5, but was moved to August 14 due to industry-wide disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and government-imposed lockdown. Now, the studio has pushed Christopher Nolan's hotly-anticipated release Tenet back to July 31 making the August date too close for comfort. Nolan has been insistent that Tenet would screen in theaters on schedule, but the slow thaw of the exhibition market has forced the studio to compromise.
The news dropped on Twitter earlier today.
Wonder Woman 1984 is the 2020 feature film sequel to the popular 2017 film Wonder Woman.
Fast forward from World War I to the 1980s as Gal Gadot returns for Wonder Woman’s next big screen adventure finds her facing an all-new foe: The Cheetah. Like its predecessor, Wonder Woman 1984 is directed by Patty Jenkins.
Chris Pine also returns as Steve Trevor, even though that character appeared to die in the previous film and would be quite old in 1984. It remains to be seen how that plays out.
Joining the cast are Kristen Wiig in the role of the Barbara Minerva, a.k.a. The Cheetah, as well as Pedro Pascal.
Charles Roven, Deborah Snyder, Zack Snyder, Patty Jenkins, Stephen Jones and Gal Gadot are producing the film. Rebecca Roven Oakley, Richard Suckle, Wesley Coller, Geoff Johns and Walter Hamada are the executive producers.
Joining her behind the scenes are several members of Jenkins’ Wonder Woman team, including director of photography Matthew Jensen, production designer Aline Bonetto, and costume designer Lindy Hemming. Oscar-nominated editor Richard Pearson will cut the film.
