Wonder Woman 1984 Delayed, New Release Date Confirmed
You'll have to wait a little longer for the return of Diana.

2017'sWonder Woman was a breakout critical success for the often uneven DC cinematic universe. Its sequel is set decades later, in the 1980s--hence the title Wonder Woman 1984--and will take the character into the Cold War. But its debut has been delayed, and it'll no longer hit theaters next year. Warner Bros. has announced a seven-month delay, pushing the the return of Princess Diana to mid-2020.
Star Gal Gadot, who plays the title character, first shared news of the delay via Twitter. Rather than its planned November 1, 2019 date, it will now release on June 5, 2020. Gadot calls this date its «rightful home,» presumably a reference to its placement among tent-pole summer movies rather than a fall release. The first movie was released in May 2017.
