'Wonder Woman 1984' Release Date Pushed to Late Summer Owing To Covid-19 Pandemic

Yet another casualty in terms of having a film release being postponed and that is exactly what has happened in the case of the big venture Wonder Woman 1984.

Warner Bros. is pushing back the release of upcoming superhero tentpole Wonder Woman 1984 two months due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The sequel, which was set to hit theaters in North America on June 5, will now hit the big screen on Aug. 14.

"When we greenlit WW 1984 it was with every intention to be viewed on the big screen and are excited to announce that Warner Bros. Pictures will be bringing the film to theaters on August 14th," Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group Chairman Toby Emmerich said in a statement. "We hope the world will be in a safer and healthier place by then."

Wonder Woman now joins a long list of studio tentpoles, including F9, Black Widow, Mulan, No Time to Die and A Quiet Place Part II, which have postponed their release due the virus, and the resulting theater closures across the U.S. and in much of the rest of the world.
