Wonder Woman 1984 First Reactions Patty Jenkins Sequel Is Joyous

Gadot is joined by co-stars from the first film, including Chris Pine, Connie Nielsen, and Robin Wright, plus a pair of fresh new villains in the form of franchise newbies Kristen Wiig as Cheetah and Pedro Pascal as Max Lord. While the DC Extended Universe entry brings back plenty of the elements that made Jenkins’ original “Wonder Woman” such a smash hit back in 2017 — with Jenkins back behind the camera, and Gadot, Pine, and Wright in front of it — the filmmakers have said this is not a traditional sequel, but instead just another “chapter” in the evolving story of Wonder Woman.

First reactions to “Wonder Woman 1984” follow just days after studio Warner Bros. announced it would release its entire 2021 slate directly on HBO Max (plus available theaters) in a move that shocked the industry on Thursday.
