Warner Bros. announces Wonder Woman 1984 has a new release date as it gets pushed back by seven months.
Originally the sequel to the hit 2017 movie was supposed to be released November 1, 2019, but now the new release date is set as June 5, 2020.
âWe had tremendous success releasing the first Wonder Woman film during the summer so when we saw an opportunity to take advantage of the changing competitive landscape, we did,â Warner Bros. said in a statement. âThis move lands the film exactly where it belongs.â
Gal Gadot also added:Â âSuper excited to announce that, thanks to the changing landscape, we are able to put Wonder Woman back to its rightful home. June 5, 2020. Be there or be square!!!â
The new Six Billion Dollar Man movie from Warner Bros. originally occupied the June 5Â release, but now it is awaiting a new release date.

The first Wonder Woman was released June 2, 2017.
