No doubt fans were salivating as Cheetah used her own wrist gauntlets to counter Diana’s Golden Lasso.

However, Wonder Woman was seemingly able to capture Cheetah’s accomplice Maxwell Lord (Pedro Pascal) as another image showed him being restrained by the Lasso in front of US Government officials.

Patty Jenkins has also returned to direct the sequel as the original took in $821 million in 2017. 

It currently ranks as the 21st highest superhero movie of all time, in regards to profit. It is the sixth highest out of 10 films from DC Comics. 

Back in March, Warner Bros. delayed the summer release of Wonder Woman 1984 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

With much of Hollywood’s spring release calendar already vacated due to the virus, major summer movies are also increasingly reshuffling as a result the sequel will now hit theaters on August 14 instead of June 5.
