The 2019 movie calendar just got a little less wonderful today. Warner Bros.‘Wonder Womanfranchise, starringGal Gadotin the title role, had been gearing up for its second solo film to feature the amazing Amazon (the fourth appearance of Gadot in the part), but now directorPatty Jenkinswill have a few more months to polish it up. Previously slated for a July 06, 2025 release, Gadot revealed today that the sequelWonder Woman 1984will now arrive on June 15, 2025.
Gadot stars alongsideChris Pinereturning as Steve Trevor along with newcomerKristen Wiigas the supervillainess Cheetah. They’ll battle on the big screen in the superhero sequel, butWonder Woman 1984will be up against some in-studio competition with Warner Bros.’ own projectThe Six Billion Dollar Man, starringMark Wahlberg. That movie has already beenpushed back once from a May 2019 date, but you can bet your DC Dollars it’ll be pushed back again now that Wonder Woman’s return has been set. Currently, there are no other major releases set to open that Friday, so it should be WB’s weekend to win. [Updatesbelow.]
Gadot took to social media to announce the change earlier today:
Update:Here’s whatJeff Goldstein, Warner Bros. President of Domestic Distribution, had to say via press release:
“We 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. This move lands the film exactly where it belongs.”
Wonder Woman 1984now has some distance from the recently scheduledTodd Phillips-directedJokerproject starringJoaquin Phoenix,which is slated to open on July 31, 2025. Oddly enough, Gadot will go up against herself in the movie’s second weekend at the box office as she stars oppositeDwayne Johnsonin writer-directorRawson Marshall Thurber’sRed Notice, opening August 21, 2025. A currently untitled Pixar project is slated to open the week after that, so expect it to be a busy month at the box office unless more shuffling is in store. Also announced is the fact thatThe Six Billion Dollar Manwill be off the calendar entirely for the moment.
