Saturday is all about comic book movies for anyone who’s been tuned into DC Fandome for all things coming soon in the genre, and for fans of Patty Jenkins’s prosperity with 2017’s Wonder Woman, the upcoming sequel couldn’t come sooner.
Gal Gadot returns to the iconic DC heroine in Wonder Woman 1984 in glistening and festive fashion with an official main trailer, and a full-fledged story waiting to be told with Chris Pine back in the role of Steve Trevor, and the villainous additions Kristen Wiig as The Cheetah and Pedro Pascal as Max Lord. Also starring are Robin Wright as Antiope, and Connie Nielsen as Hippolyta.
The good news is the film is getting a theatrical 2D/3D/IMAX release on October 2. The bad news, if you’ve been keeping up, is that not all the theaters will be open in time. Such are first-world Coronavirus problems. Alas, hopefully you’re near a theater that’ll be playing this one IF you choose to go. All I know is as tough as times are, we could all use a hero at this point, and Diana Prince herself in dashing gold armor with wings to boot feels like a fair start.
