WONDER WOMAN 1984: Warner Bros. Denies Plans To Not Give The Sequel A Theatrical Release

Despite reports that
Wonder Woman 1984 could end up skipping theaters and heading straight to Digital or a streaming service like HBO Max, Warner Bros. is now rushing to deny that we won't see the sequel on the big screen. According to
Indie Wire, the studio has "confirmed" that the sequel will indeed receive a full theatrical run.
Now, before we get too ahead of ourselves here, it's worth pointing out
that The Wrap shared comments denying that it was the plan, and only said that it was something the studio is considering. While it may not be on the table right now, if theaters are still closed for the foreseeable future by June, then it could be that the studio comes to the conclusion that they have no other choice.
At the moment,
Wonder Woman 1984 is still set to be released on June 5th, and if a change is coming, then we probably won't find out for at least a few more weeks.
A non-theatrical release would be an extreme and unexpected move for a film as big as this one, but we're living in strange times, and with everything from
Onward to
Bloodshot hitting Digital early over the next couple of weeks, Warner Bros. could end up making history.
The biggest question is whether
Wonder Woman 1984 could possibly slip into 2021. It was originally due last year before being pushed back to this summer.
Honestly, we wouldn't be surprised if it ends up not receiving a theatrical release, but we'll have to wait and see for now. What do you guys think could happen? Let us know your thoughts down below!
