Wonder Woman 1984’ release pushed until August due to COVID-19

Warner Bros. is postponing Diana Prince’s return to the big screen due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The sources said that Wonder Woman 1984 will now hit cinemas on August 14 instead of June 5.

According to the details, Warner Brothers studio announced that it is pushing the release of “Wonder Woman 1984,” which was supposed to hit theaters June 5, back one month amid growing concerns over theater closures.

Sources said, The delays were inevitable as multiplexes across the country remain closed to help halt the spread of the novel virus. Warner Bros. was always committed to debuting its “Wonder Woman” sequel in cinemas, and the studio felt it was realistic for theaters to be up and running again by August.
