Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot has announced that the film’s sequel has been pushed back to 2020.
The eagerly anticipated follow-up to the 2017 movie – entitled Wonder Woman 1984 – was due to arrive in cinemas in November 2019.
However, the actress posted a message on Twitter on Monday saying it would be delayed until June 2020.
Gadot said that date was its “rightful home”.
She tweeted: “Super excited to announce that, thanks to the changing landscape, we are able to put Wonder Woman back to its rightful home. June 5, 2020.
“Be there or be square!!!”
