Wonder Woman 1984 is an upcoming American superhero film based on the DC Comics character Wonder Woman, distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. It is a sequel to 2017's Wonder Woman and is the ninth installment in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). The film is directed by Patty Jenkins, who wrote it with Geoff Johns and David Callaham from a story written by Johns and Jenkins. It stars Gal Gadot in the title role, with Chris Pine, Kristen Wiig, Pedro Pascal, Connie Nielsen, and Robin Wright in supporting roles. It is the fourth live-action theatrical film featuring the titular character, following Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016), Wonder Woman and Justice League (2017); it will be the second full-length feature film centered around the character.

Discussion of a sequel began shortly after the release of the first film in June 2017, and the decision to proceed was confirmed the following month. Principal photography began on June 13, 2018 – with filming taking place at Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden in England, as well as the District of Columbia and Northern Virginia in the United States, London and Duxford in England, Tenerife and Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands, and Almería in Andalusia, Spain – and finished on December 22, 2018, after a six-month shoot.

Wonder Woman 1984 is scheduled to be released in the United States by Warner Bros. Pictures in RealD 3D, Dolby Cinema, IMAX and IMAX 3D on June 5, 2020.

Premise

Diana Prince comes into conflict with the Soviet Union during the Cold War in the 1980s and finds a formidable foe by the name of the Cheetah.

— Warner Bros. Pictures[2][3]

Cast

Additionally Pedro Pascal, Natasha Rothwell, Ravi Patel, Gabriella Wilde, and Kristoffer Polaha have been cast in undisclosed roles.[8][9][10][11]

Production

Development

Gal Gadot, who had originally signed for three feature films with Wonder Woman being her second, had extended her contract beyond that.[12] The director of the first film, Patty Jenkins, who was initially signed for only one film, had expressed interest in returning to direct the sequel.[13][14] In June 2017, during an interview with Variety, comic book writer Geoff Johns revealed that he and Jenkins had started writing the treatment for a Wonder Woman sequel and that he had a "cool idea for the second one".[15][16] While speaking in a Q&A at Women in Film screening of the film, Jenkins confirmed she would indeed direct the sequel.[17] However, Jenkins later tweeted that "it wasn't a confirmation. Just talking about ideas and hopes".[18]

On July 22, 2017, at San Diego Comic-Con, the studio officially announced a sequel would be produced, with Jenkins returning as director; its title was listed as Wonder Woman 2.[19][20] In September 2017, it was officially confirmed that Jenkins would be directing the sequel.[21] On September 13, 2017, it was reported that The Expendables' writer David Callaham would join the film to write the script along with Jenkins and Johns, who were already working on it for several months.[22] On February 28, 2018, it was reported that the film would be shot with IMAX film cameras in select action sequences.[23] By late May 2018, long-time DCEU producer Zack Snyder confirmed on social media platform Vero that he, along with his wife Deborah Snyder, would serve as producers on the Wonder Woman sequel.[24] On June 13, 2018, the title of the film was announced to be Wonder Woman 1984.[4] A source close to Jenkins described it as a stand-alone film "in the same way that Indiana Jones or [James] Bond films are, instead of one continuous story that requires many installments."[25]

Pre-production

Pre-production officially began by early December 2017 in the United Kingdom.[26] That same month, director Patty Jenkins stated that the film would be another great love story with a new love interest being introduced.[27] In April 2018, the film was confirmed to be set in the 1980s.[28] The next month, production designer Aline Bonetto (Amélie, Wonder Woman) was announced to be returning for the sequel, as well as Academy Award winner Lindy Hemming, also returning as costume designer.[29]

In September 2017, Gal Gadot was confirmed to return as the title character.[30] On February 28, 2018, it was reported that Kristen Wiig was in talks with the studio to play Cheetah, the main villain of the film,[5] with director Patty Jenkins confirming her casting the next month.[3] By March 28, Pedro Pascal, who played Ed Indelicato in the pilot of the canceled 2011 Wonder Woman television adaptation, was cast in an undisclosed key role.[8] On June 13, Jenkins confirmed the addition of Chris Pine as Steve Trevor through Twitter.[31] On July 24, 2018, Natasha Rothwell was announced to be cast in an undisclosed role.[9] A few days later, on July 27, Ravi Patel and Gabriella Wilde also joined the film, with their roles being kept under wraps as well.[10] By late August, Connie Nielsen and Robin Wright were confirmed to reprise their roles as Hippolyta and Antiope in a flashback sequence.[7] In November 2018, Kristoffer Polaha revealed that he has a role in the film.[11]

Filming

Filming took place at Warner Bros.

Studios on July 28, 2019.[57]

Post-production

Richard Pearson will serve as the editor for Wonder Woman 1984.[58] John Moffatt (Harry Potter and Life) will serve as the overall visual effects supervisor for the film.[59] Double Negative (DNEG), Framestore and Method Studios will provide the visual effects for the film.[60][61][62]

On August 22, 2018, Hans Zimmer was announced as the composer for Wonder Woman 1984. Zimmer previously scored Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the first and second films in the DC Extended Universe.[63]

Wonder Woman 1984 is scheduled to be released by Warner Bros. Pictures in the United States in RealD 3D, Dolby Cinema, and IMAX 3D on June 5, 2020.[64] It was previously set for December 13, 2019, and then moved to November 1, 2019, before settling on its mid-2020 release date.[65][66]

Marketing

On June 22, 2018, it was reported that Gal Gadot would be attending Warner Bros' DC presentation at San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) 2018, and some footage from the film would be shown to promote it.[67] Director Patty Jenkins and actors Gadot and Chris Pine attended the Wonder Woman 1984 panel at SDCC on July 21, 2018, where a short clip of the film was shown.[68] A teaser poster debuted on June 5, 2019.[69]

Future

In January 2019, after principal photography on Wonder Woman 1984 was completed, director and co-writer Patty Jenkins announced that the plot for a third Wonder Woman film is currently mapped out. The filmmaker stated that the next installment could possibly take place in a more contemporary setting.[70][71]
