'Wonder Woman 1984' Has Been Pushed Back in Brazil As COVID-19 Cases Rise In The Country
It goes without saying that this past year has been full of ups and downs, and the ever-changing release date for DC's upcoming film, Wonder Woman 1984, is no exception. This is the sequel to the smash box office hit to Wonder Woman from back in 2017. As far as the DC Extended Universe is concerned, Wonder Woman was introduced in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which received poor reviews from the critics and audience. However, after the introduction, Gal Gadot's portrayal of Wonder Woman won people over, especially in her solo film. Given its success, it was no surprise for Warner Bros. to green-light the sequel with Patty Jenkins back on the directing chair, despite the murky reception to the Justice League movie in which Wonder Woman appeared. Unlike the first Wonder Woman film, which was set in World War 1 (a decision which different from her origin in the comic books), the sequel is set in 1984, about 66 years after the original film. (For those who may be wondering, Wonder Woman is about 5000 years old.)
