Wonder Woman was one of the biggest hits of last year and it’s not surprising that the film is getting a sequel, Wonder Woman 1984. The movie has begun production and is currently filming in the Washington, DC region as it transforms the area into its 80s self.
Wonder Woman 1984 will find the hero up against The Cheatah played by Kristen Wiig. Chris Pine returns as Steve Trevor a mystery since his character seemingly died in the previous film. Also new to the film is Pedro Pascal and Gale Gadot returns as the hero.
Patty Jenkins is directing the film and she’s joined by director of photography Matthew Jensen, Oscar-nomination production designer Aline Bonetto, and Oscar-winning costume designer Lindy Hemming. Oscar-nominated editor Richard Pearson will cut the film.
In addition to Washington, DC and Alexandria, Virginia, filming will take place in the UK, Spain, and Canary Islands.
Wonder Woman 1984 will be in theaters November 1, 2019.
We’re heading to Awesome Con! If you’ll be at the show, track down one of the team and say “hi.” We’ll of course be sharing photos to Instagram and Twitter and try to get some fun interviews for YouTube. So keep a heads up all weekend.
