Good news for those who want Wonder Woman in theaters sooner, you’re getting your wish!
The bad news is the movie is only moving up three weeks from the original release date.
Warner Bros. made the announcement yesterday that Wonder Woman would move from its original June 23, 2017 release date to June 2, 2017. This puts the film in a great spot for the summer movie crowd, with only Bad Boys 3 and Captain Underpants as the competition.
There have been a number of rumors going around the Internet (big surprise), that Warner Bros. would be pulling back on its superhero films following the “failure” of Batman v Superman – a “failure”, we should point out, that has brought in over $700 million in the movie’s first three weeks of release. Instead, Warner Bros. announced release dates for two untitled superhero films for October 8, 2018 and November 1, 2019.
Justice League: Part 1 began filming this week with director Zack Snyder, and is scheduled to arrive on November 17, 2017.
With all of the changes and new announcements, here is the current rundown of Warner Bros. DC movies:
“Suicide Squad” – August 5, 2016
“Wonder Woman” – June 2, 2017
“Justice League: Part 1” – November 17, 2017
“The Flash” – March 16, 2018
“Aquaman” – July 27, 2018
“Untitled DC Film” — October 5, 2018
“Shazam” – April 5, 2019
“Justice League: Part 2” – June 14, 2019
“Untitled DC Film” — November 1, 2019
“Cyborg” – April 3, 2020
“Green Lantern” – June 19, 2020
It doesn’t look like there is any slowing down on the superhero front, and if I were to guess what the October 2018 film is, I’d say it is Ben Affleck’s Batman.
