The release date for Gal Gadot's new movie Wonder Woman 1984 has been moved once again, from August 14 to October 2, 2020, according to Entertainment Weekly.
Anyone following the DC Comics series, or even Gadot, the famed Israeli actress and international super star, has been looking forward to the movie's release. However, namely due to the coronavirus, the movie's release date has been pushed around for what is now the fourth time.
The first time the release date was moved was not due to the coronavirus, and the date was moved up from December 13, 2019 to November 1, 2019. As producer Charles Roven later explained, moving up the date rushed pre- and post-production, which needed the extra time, and it was then moved from November to June 5, 2020.
In March, once the coronavirus pandemic took hold globally and theaters around the world shut down, Wonder Woman 1984's release date was pushed back for a third time from June 5 to August 14, 2020.Now, just as the third release date passes, and as the coronavirus crisis continues in the US, the movie's release date has been changed for the fourth time.
Fans hope the date will stick and will give them something to look forward to after what's already been for many a long year.
True to form, Gald Gadot optimistically tweeted about the new release date, having posted, "The new release date for WW84 is 10.2.20. Wow, it's finally happening, and I couldn't be more excited! To all the fans stuck w/ us through this time, thank u so much! We couldn't have done this w/o you. I'm so excited for to get to see this #WW84, it will be worth the wait."
