Coronavirus Delays Wonder Woman 1984 by Over Two Months

Wonder Woman will return, but a little later. Warner Bros. has pushed the Wonder Woman 1984 release date by over two months — 10 weeks, to be precise — from June 5 to August 14, amid growing concerns over the ongoing pandemic caused by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Star and producer Gal Gadot made the announcement Tuesday in the US. This is the second readjustment of the Wonder Woman sequel's release date, after it was pushed back seven months from November 2019 to June 2020, though it's the first one that wasn't entirely in its hands.

“In these dark and scary times, I am looking forward to a brighter future ahead. Where we can share the power of cinema together again. Excited to redate our WW84 film to August 14, 2020. I hope everyone is safe. Sending my love to you all,” Gadot wrote on her official Twitter account.

Director and producer Patty Jenkins added: “We made Wonder Woman 1984 for the big screen and I believe in the power of cinema. In these terrible times, when theatre owners are struggling as so many are, we are excited to re-date our film to August 14th 2020 in a theatre near you, and pray for better times for all by then.”
