Wonder Woman 1984 has been delayed, again (again).

Previously set for October 2, The Wall Street Journal first reported that a decision had been made to shift the DC sequel starring Gal Gadot further into 2020. Warner Bros. has since confirmed that Wonder Woman 1984 will reach cinemas on Christmas Day in the United States. 

Director Patty Jenkins said of the delay: “First and foremost let me say how much Gal and I love all our devoted Wonder Woman fans around the world, and your excitement for Wonder Woman 1984 couldn’t make us happier or more eager for you to see the movie. Because I know how important it is to bring this movie to you on a big screen when all of us can share the experience together, I’m hopeful you won’t mind waiting just a little bit longer. With the new date on Christmas Day, we can’t wait to spend the holidays with you!”

The news of Wonder Woman’s delay follows on from two key moments that felt like Diana’s big return was given the greenlight: the release of Tenet and WW84’s FanDome panel, which included a new trailer and the first real look at Kristen Wiig’s Cheetah.
