Wonder Woman 1984 postponed due to virus
The superhero movie - starring Israeli actress Gal Gadot - had been scheduled to arrive on screens in June, but will be pushed back until mid-August
Wonder Woman 1984 has become the latest film to have its release date postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak.
The superhero movie – starring Israeli actress Gal Gadot in the titular role – had been scheduled to arrive on screens in June.
Instead, it will be released on August 14, Warner Bros said.
Responding to the news, Gadot said: “In these dark and scary times, I am looking forward to a brighter future ahead. Where we can share the power of cinema together again.
“Excited to redate our WW84 film to August 14, 2020. I hope everyone is safe. Sending my love to you all.”
This comes after Gadot led a star-studded cover of John Lennon’s Imagine as celebrities including Natalie Portman and Jamie Dornan attempted to lift spirits amid the coronavirus outbreak.
The delays comes as Hollywood continues to adjust to the disruption caused by the pandemic, with billions of dollars set to be lost.
Major films to be postponed include James Bond flick No Time To Die and Disney blockbusters Mulan and Black Widow.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
