‘Wonder Woman 1984’ moved to summer 2020, ‘Terminator 6’ set for 2019, ‘Joker’ casts Bruce, Alfred
Warner Bros has struggled to adapt the DC Comics’ heroes with the exception of Wonder Woman, but fans will have to wait even longer for the follow-up.
Star Gal Gadot dropped the news that the film will be moved back from a November 1, 2019 release to June 5, 2020.
“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!!!” she tweeted.

Jeff Goldstein, Warner Bros. President of Domestic Distribution, had to say via press release:
“We had tremendous success releasing the first Wonder Woman film during the summer so when we saw an opportunity to take advantage of the changing competitive landscape, we did. This move lands the film exactly where it belongs.”
Gadot stars alongside Chris Pine returning as Steve Trevor along with newcomer Kristen Wiig as the supervillainess Cheetah. Narcos star Pedro Pascal stars as Max Lord, check out the first look here. Natasha Rothwell (Insecure), Ravi Patel and Gabriella White also star.
The Todd Phillips-directed Joker project starring Joaquin Phoenix, which is slated to open on October 4, 2019.
The film just cast ‘Master Bruce,’ who will be played by young Dante Pereira-Olson, who played a young version of Joaquin Phoenix‘s character in You Were Never Really Here. Douglas Hodge will play Alfred Pennyworth, the Wayne family butler who keeps a close eye on his young charge. Brett Cullen was previously cast as the boy’s father, Thomas Wayne, as the other cast is Robert De Niro, Zazie Beetz, Bill Camp, Marc Maron, Frances Conroy, Glenn Fleshler, Josh Pais and Shea Whigham.
The sixth Terminator flick actually moves up two weeks on the calendar as it had previously been set for a November 15, 2019 release, so Paramount appears very confident about Tim Miller‘s take on the material.
Miller is at the helm of this untitled Terminator film, which also has James Cameron intimately involved as a producer. Miller, Cameron, and producer David Ellison came up with the story, which will be a direct sequel to Cameron’s classic Terminator 2: Judgment Day and will ignore the other sequels.
Linda Hamilton is reprising her iconic role of Sarah Connor, and then two new characters played by Mackenzie Davis (Blade Runner 2049, The Martian, Halt and Catch Fire) and Natalia Reyes (2091).
Gabriel Luna (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) is set to star as the latest version of the titular time-traveling killing machine.
Reyes is billed as Dani, a young woman from a working-class class neighborhood in Mexico City who finds herself in the battle between humans and machines. Reyes’ character is being described as the Sarah Connor of the new trilogy while Luna’s Terminator will presumably follow in Robert Patrick’s footsteps as the villain.
Diego Boneta as the brother of Reyes’ character.
Davis plays a soldier-assassin from the future and yes…Arnold Schwarzenegger is back in some capacity.
