What Does The New Poster For Wonder Woman 1984 Show?

The poster appears to give fans the first look at Wonder Woman’s “Golden Eagle” armor suit, which had been previously rumored to factor into the film in some way. It also hammers home the film’s unique setting in a pretty unique way.

In a previous interview Jenkins had said:

“You know what was cool, we’re treating the era differently than (what) I’ve seen so far, which I feel like there’s a lot of interesting versions of doing the era. In our version, as a child of the ’80s myself, yes there was funny, ha-ha outfits I can’t believe I wore, for sure. But there’s also incredible music, incredible art. And so I really felt like the 1980s is mankind at their most extreme and at their best. It was when we could do anything we wanted and we had no idea of the price yet. So we have really committed to that version of the ’80s where it’s not needle drops, and it’s not a bunch of jokes. It’s actually the most aspirational and elegant version of the 80s anywhere.”

WW84 is set for release on June 5, 2020; followed by Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) on February 7, 2020; The Batman on June 25, 2021; The Suicide Squad on August 6, 2021; and Aquaman 2 on December 16, 2022.
