Wonder Woman 2’ Changed Release Date After ‘Star Wars IX’ Got Bumped Up <br /> <br />It’s hard when two different studios have big movies released on dates close to each other. In order to give way to “Star Wars: Episode IX,” DCEU’s “Wonder Woman 2” was moved up to Nov. 1, 2019 instead of its original Dec. 13, 2019 release date. <br /> <br />Warner Bros. made the announcement on Monday, according to Entertainment Weekly. Patty Jenkins’ second standalone film will now debut six weeks earlier than originally planned. <br /> <br />This decision came after Disney and Lucasfilm moved “Star Wars: Episode IX” to Dec. 20, 2019. <br /> <br />Jenkins earlier said that she’ll return to direct the sequel not because she feels obligated to see the franchise through, but because she loves working with the entire cast. <br /> <br />“I’m not a big obligation person when it comes to art. You want to do a movie like this because you believe in it,” she revealed. “Then I had this revelation in the middle of the night: this is your dream cast, you’ve created a character that you love and you can say anything you want in the world right now.” <br /> <br />Jenkins added, “Then I realized that ‘Wonder Woman 2’ is its own great movie. I made ‘Wonder Woman.’ Now I want to make ‘Wonder Woman 2.’ It’s a beautiful story to tell, an important time to tell it and with people that I love.” <br /> <br />One thing’s for certain: the next movie will bring Diana Prince to America. “The story will take place in the U.S., which I think is right,” Jenkins said. “She’s Wonder Woman. She’s got to come to America. It’s time.” <br /> <br />Steve Trevor’s (Chris Pine) men — Sameer (Said Taghmaoui), Charlie (Ewen Bremner) and Chief (Eugene Brave Rock) — together with his secretary, Etta Candy (Lucy Davis), might even be back to carry out a top secret mission to save mankind. In a deleted scene from the theatrical release, the four of them talked about a “very old, very powerful” artifact that needs to be delivered to the Americans. If it ends up in the wrong hands, the said artifact would cause a lot of trouble for the world.
