The success of the Amazonian’s first standalone film has become somewhat of a turning point for Warner Bros.
According to, Warner Bros. has announced a release date for the premiere of “Wonder Woman 2″. The Followup to the massively successful film — a critical hit that has also become the highest-grossing movie of the summer the biggest box-office win directed by a woman ever — will hit screens on December 13,2019. There is no word on who will direct at this stage, but the odds and the rumor mill have it that “Wonder Woman” helmer Patty Jenkins will step behind the camera again. Gal Gadot will reprise her role as the Amazonian warrior in what reports say is. Currently, December has been somewhat given over to the revived “Star Wars” franchise — both “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” and “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” were year-end successes for Disney. “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” bows on December 15 of this year. However, the upcoming Han Solo spin-off film and the remainder of the projected Star Wars slate after it are on track for May releases, leaving a hole in the blockbuster schedule that Warner Bros. already claimed. After some dithering, its chosen “Wonder Woman 2″ for that slot on the — probably correct — belief that the Amazonian can carry the Christmas season. Interestingly, the release of “Wonder Woman 2″ will come in the same year that Disney’s Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise releases their first film centered around a female character, “Captain Marvel”. Starring Oscar-winner Brie Larson, “Captain Marvel” is currently slated for release on March 8,2019. Overall, the setting of the release date for “Wonder Woman 2″ demonstrates that Warner Bros. understands the value of the relatively upbeat, openly heroic film to their much-maligned DC Extended Universe franchise. One could say the same thing for the character’s prominence in the for the DCEU’s November release, “Justice League”. It’s not hard to guess that, as the of the franchise’s four films to survive critical attention with high marks exceed box-office projections, “Wonder Woman” and its positive tone may indeed mark a turning point for the series.
