Wonder Woman 2 Release Date Delay Explained
79Wonder Woman 2 Release Date Delay Explained
Fans were primed and ready to enjoy director Patty Jenkins’ highly anticipated Wonder Woman sequel this year, that is until Warner Bros. pushed the release date back seven months. Initially, Wonder Woman 1984 was due to arrive in theaters in November 2019, but last October word surfaced that Warner Bros. was pushing the movie back all the way to June 5, 2020. That was a significant delay, and a bummer for those who were looking forward to seeing Gal Gadot back with the lasso in theaters in 2019.
A specific reason for the Wonder Woman 2 release date change wasn’t fully clarified, but when the new date was announced, Gadot took to Twitter to note that the film was “back to its rightful home,” referring to the June release date. Indeed, June 2017 is when the first Wonder Woman opened to stellar box office and critical raves, so it stands to reason the follow-up should perform quite well in that summer month.
So when Collider’s own Steve Weintraub spoke with producer Charles Roven in anticipation of the release of the Netflix thriller Triple Frontier, he asked why Wonder Woman 1984’s release date was moved. As it turns out, Summer 2020 is the date the filmmakers wanted all along:
