There’s yet another delay for another Warner Bros. highly anticipated movie, as the studio has announced that they will be moving the release of Wonder Woman 1984 back – but thankfully only by two months!
The studio giants have already announced that they will be moving back their other expected blockbuster, TENET until the end of July, so it comes as no surprise that they are also delaying Wonder Woman 1984 too.
They have confirmed that the the long-awaited ninth installment of the DC Extended Universe, WONDER WOMAN 1984 will no longer be released in cinemas August 14th but October 2nd. It’s going to be a tough wait for fans of the superhero and DC Universe as this change in date has happened for THE FIFTH TIME, showing what problems the COVID-19 pandemic is doing to the film industry. Hopefully by this time, the virus will be under control, cinemas will fully reopen and audiences across the globe will feel safe enough to watch the movies on the big screen once again.

In the new movie, we fast forward to the 1980s as Wonder Woman’s next big screen adventure finds her facing an all-new foe: The Cheetah. “Wonder Woman 1984” will be helmed by acclaimed director Patty Jenkins, and star Gal Gadot in the title role. As previously announced, the film also stars Kristen Wiig in the role of the Super-Villain The Cheetah, as well as Pedro Pascal. And Chris Pine returns as Steve Trevor.
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, Oscar-nominated production designer Aline Bonetto (“Amélie”), and Oscar-winning costume designer Lindy Hemming (“Topsy-Turvy”). Oscar-nominated editor Richard Pearson (“United 93”) will cut the film.
“Wonder Woman 1984” is based on the character created by William Moulton Marston, appearing in comic books published by DC Entertainment.Â
It will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
