Entertainment Weeklyhas released seven new images fromPatty Jenkins' upcoming superhero sequelWonder Woman 1984. The new movie sees Diana (Gal Gadot) reunited with Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) under mysterious circumstances, and taking on the villainous Maxwell Lord (Pedro Pascal) and Cheetah (Kristen Wiig).
While I’m sure Warner Bros. is a little nervous aboutWonder Womanfollowing the tepid box office returns onBirds of Prey, they probably shouldn’t worry.Wonder Woman 1984has a prime summer release date, a PG-13 rating, and is a straightforward sequel to a film that grossed $821 million worldwide. WhileWonder Woman 1984may make slightly less than that (sequels tend to make less than the film that preceded them unless they can bill themselves as some massive event a laAvengers: Endgame), it should still be a sizable hit for the studio. I certainly wouldn’t bet against a newWonder Womanmovie given the success of the 2017 original.
