According to Variety, Warner Bros. has pushed back the Gal Gadot-led sequel Wonder Woman 1984. Instead of being released November 1, 2019, it is now set to hit theaters June 5, 2020.

“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,” Jeff Goldstein, Warner Bros.’ president of domestic distribution, told Variety. “This move lands the film exactly where it belongs.”

Gadot tweeted about the news, “Super excited to announce that, thanks to the changing landscape, we are able to put Wonder Woman back to its rightful home. June 5, 2020. Be there or be square!!!”

Wonder Woman 1984, the eighth installment in the DC Universe, follows 2017’s Wonder Woman. Director Patty Jenkins is returning to helm the sequel.

The film replaces Mark Wahlberg’s Six Billion Dollar Man, which was originally scheduled for a June 5, 2020 release but has now been taken off the schedule.
