The announcement also came with a new Wonder Woman 1984 motion poster. Jenkins also included a heartfelt message in her tweet saying, “We made Wonder Woman 1984 for the big screen and I believe in the power of cinema. In these terrible times, when theater owners are struggling as so many are, we are excited to re-date our film to August 14th 2020 in a theater near you, and pray for better times for all by then.”
