The team of Wonder Woman 1984 revealed the runtime of the movie. Fans have been waiting for a long time to see the upcoming film in the Wonder Woman franchise. The film was scheduled to release last year. Still, due to the pandemic situation, Warner Bros. delayed the date several times.
Wonder Woman 1984 is an upcoming American movie based on DC Comics character Wonder Woman. The film will be the sequel of the 2017 movie Wonder Woman and the franchise’s ninth installment. Patty Jenkins is the director of the movie who also co-wrote the screenplay with Geoff John and David Callaham. The movie stars Gal Gadot as the lead character of the series the Wonder Woman or Diana Prince, along with Kristine Wigg, Chris Pine, Pedro Pascal, Robin Wright, and Connie Nielsen in the supporting roles. During the Cold War, the film is set in 1984 due to the geopolitical tension between the United States and the Soviet Union. The plot follows Diana and her face off against Cheetah and Maxwell.
The team was discussing the sequel shortly after the release of the first film in June 2017. The film’s shooting began on 13 June 2018 and took place at Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden, in England. Warner Bros. Picture scheduled to release Wonder Woman 1984 on 2 October 2020 in North America in Dolby Cinema, RealD, IMAX 3D, and IMAX. Although fans are still worried, this is the final release date, or it could end up being postponed again.
In the upcoming movie of Wonder Woman in 1984, the story will focus on Gadot’s Diana decades after her solo adventure. Diana is living a solitary life in Washington, DC. Soon, things changed. She found herself around new threats as a friend-turned-rival, Barbara Minerva, and shady businessman Maxwell Lord. After months of speculation, DC FanDome recently released the trailer of Wonder Wonder 1984 and revealed the first true look of the villainous Cheetah Barbara’s final look. According to an eagle-eyed fan on social media named Gavin, he noticed that in some Korean sites, Wonder Woman 1984 is 2 hours and 32 minutes, which is 151 minutes. The last movie of the franchise was 2 hours, 29 minutes, and 148 minutes. So the length of the two films is close enough.
Recently, Tenet faced some complications with releasing in the theatres of China because of its runtime of 150 minutes, as the country has a rule not to show movies over 2 hours. So the runtime of Wonder Woman 1984 could face the same obstacles. Although, Tenet was approved to screen in China, which would also help Wonder Woman 1984 to receive the same pass.
Patty Jenkins, who is the first film director, was signed only for the one sequel. In an interview with Variety in 2017, the comic book writer Geoff John shared that he and Jenkins began to write the second sequel of the film. He had some cool ideas about the film. On 22 July 2017, the studio officially announced Jenkins would direct the sequel. The pre-production of the film started in December 2017 in the United Kingdom. Patty stated that the movie would be a love story, and in April 2018, the team declared that the movie would be set in the 1980s. Gal Gadot was confirmed as the title character in September 2017, and on 28 February 2018, Kristen Wiig was cast for the role of Cheetah.
The upcoming film’s runtime of 151 minutes might be good news for Wonder Woman fans who want to see a packed cinema. Diana would have plenty of screen time to explore all the sides of the character. One the other hand, some audiences are not very fond of long-length films; hence it could be seen negatively. Indeed, the film’s anticipation is relatively high, and the length would not prevent anyone from seeing it in theaters. We can witness the film soon on the big screen. The above was some latest information about the upcoming movie Wonder Woman 1984.
