Women in Hollywood have long been clamoring for a wider representation of their gender in everything, including more women-led superhero films and with films like 2017’s Wonder Woman, their cries have obviously not been ignored. The film whose marketing strategy mirrored that of Supergirl which had recorded impressive success turned out to be a hit, even bigger than what was expected. The 2017 film which was the first live-action theatrical release having Wonder Woman as the lead character was both critically and commercially successful, making over $820 million from the global box office.

The film would pick up from the events after WWII and would thus be set several years later from the first movie which was set in 1918 around the end of WWI. Though it would reference the first movie, Wonder Woman 1984 would be telling a completely different story, including what happened with the titular character in the intervening years.
The development for Wonder Woman 1984 began right in the same month shortly after the release of the previous one. It was highly likely going to happen as the titular character had inked a contract to play the role in three live-action theatrical feature-length films, the first of which was 2016’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
In the following month, July 2017, the sequel was referred to as Wonder Woman 2 with Jenkins the director for the first film being confirmed to return to direct, as well as contribute to the script alongside comic book writer, Geoff Johns. Around the same time, it was revealed that couple – Zack Snyder and Deborah Snyder would serve as producers.

The first release date set for the film was the 13th of December 2019 ( would be released on this day), however, it was later moved to the first of November 2019. As of the time of this writing, the film’s release date is slated for the 5th of June 2020.

Connie Nielsen and Robin Wright would also both return in their immortal roles as Hippolyta (Diane’s mother) and Antiope (Hippolyta sister and Diane’s aunt) respectively, however, the later will only appear in flashback scenes.

How exactly this is possible would be revealed when the movie hits the cinemas, Jenkins has after all pointed out that Wonder Woman 1984 would not be a sequel.
