“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,” she wrote.
Wonder Woman 1984 was earlier expected to release next year in November. However, it seems like the release date has been pushed back which means that Shazam! will be the only DCU film to get released in 2019. DC will also release its Joker standalone film starring Joaquin Phoenix next year, but it will not be under DCEU’s timeline.
It’s still unclear why Wonder Woman 1984 shifted back its release date, but one of the reasons could be that the first film released in June 2017. Even Gadot said that the film will be put “back to its rightful home”. No details about Wonder Woman 1984 have been released officially yet, although Gadot shared a few details about the project during the San Diego Comic-Con this year.
“It’s not a sequel, it’s its own story,” Gadot said. “It’s own chapter, a whole new movie. The bar is very high, but our aspirations are even higher. so we just give it everything that we have and hoping what we bring you guys will love.”
Here’s what some of the DC Fans had to say on Twitter:
DC may be pushing some films back, but we say take your time and do it right. We got your back!#DCEU #WonderWoman1984 pic.twitter.com/eIzUQFjcA0

You know, I'm actually not opposed to #WonderWoman1984 getting pushed back to June 5, 2020. It's a very smart decision on WB/DC's part. Now they won't have to compete with Star Wars: Episode IX or Frozen 2. Still excited for this movie either way! https://t.co/XCKMi8QF7a

I understand that this was done to ensure that the movie has no direct competition at the box office but it is still going to be VERY challenging as waiting almost two years for #WonderWoman84 ? pic.twitter.com/j6L7z8eTER

Anybody know why? Looked at the fall 2019 date that #WonderWoman1984 originally held and it seems like it could’ve owned the box office for 3-4 weekends. I’m not sure Any summer release can have those kind of legs https://t.co/qRYvI4J77y

In an unpredictable era of studio mergers, box office bombs and fluctuating audience tastes, at least there's one franchise on which we can constantly rely to make baffling reactionary decisions! Never change, #DCEU… #WonderWoman1984 #WW1984 pic.twitter.com/Paj53wNobo
