The release of Wonder Woman 1984 has been moved to Christmas in the US, in the latest in a series of delays caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

According to Deadline, it will now be released on 25 December, 2020 – one week after the planned release of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune adaptation

Wonder Woman 1984, starring Gal Gadot as the title character, was once supposed to come out in 2019, but was pushed to June 2020 – a date that became unsustainable amid the coronavirus crisis.

“First and foremost let me say how much Gal and I love all our devoted Wonder Woman fans around the world, and your excitement for WW84 couldn’t make us happier or more eager for you to see the movie," director Patty Jenkins said in a statement.

"Because I know how important it is to bring this movie to you on a big screen when all of us can share the experience together, I’m hopeful you won’t mind waiting just a little bit longer. With the new date on Christmas Day, we can’t wait to spend the holidays with you!”

The film’s UK release date is still listed as 2 October 2020.

Wonder Woman 1984 is the second standalone film with Gadot as the protagonist.

The first, simply titled Wonder Woman and also directed by Jenkins, came out in 2017.
