“There’s a lot that remains to be done on that
movie,” said Miranda. “We were finishing the
score and the mixing and just getting the music
exactly right.”
The studio also took several other films off its
release schedule including the “Scooby-Doo”
movie “Scoob,” previously planned for May
15, and the James Wan thriller “Malignant,”
previously set for Aug. 14.
Several likely spring and summer blockbusters
have already been delayed, including Marvel’s
“Black Widow” (previously May 1, now
unscheduled); the “Fast and Furious” movie “F9,”
(now slated for 2021); the Bond movie “No Time
to Die” (moved to November); and “A Quiet Place
Part II” (not currently dated).
While some recent releases have moved to
streaming platforms or on-demand with theaters
closed, Hollywood’s top productions have opted
to wait until they can play in cinemas.
“We made ‘Wonder Woman 1984’ for the big
screen and I believe in the power of cinema,”
director Patty Jenkins said on Twitter. “In
these terrible times, when theater owners are
struggling as so many are, we are excited to re-
date our film to August 14th, 2020, in a theater
near you, and pray for better times for all by then.”
