            It is true that most of the DC films that have been released have not done well critically or at the box-office. However, the one outlier that has done tremendous in both facets is Wonder Woman. The film grossed over $800 million and is received the best reviews of any comic book film released under the DC film banner. The sequel was announced after the positive buzz and now we have news regarding the next installment.

            According to Deadline, Wonder Woman 1984 will move from its original November 1^st, 2019 date to a more appropriate release date of June 5^th, 2020. The move makes sense as DC has the upcoming Joker movie starring Joaquin Phoenix opening just 30 days before the original release date. Warner Bros. had a corresponding move by taking the Mark Wahlberg-starrer Six Billion Dollar Man off the schedule entirely. The movie was originally slated to hit theaters on June 5^th, 2020.

            Wonder Woman 1984 will see the return of Patty Jenkins behind the camera as well as Gal Gadot in the titular role. Chris Pine will also reprise his role as Steve Trevor while Pedro Pascal and Kristen Wiig join the cast.
