DC's Wonder Woman sequel that was slated to hit the screens in June this year has been pushed by two months and will now release on August 14, 2020. As per reports in Deadline, the decision was taken keeping the current market in mind and with a hope that things will eventually cool down by then. While Marvel is yet to announce the release date for Black Widow, Warner Bros went ahead and booked a new slot for this Patty Jenkins directorial. Wonder Woman 1984 Poster: Gal Gadot Looks Fierce In a Golden Armour.

Earlier there were reports about how the studio is considering to bring the WW 1984 to a streaming platform directly. But the move doesn't even make sense.
