The wait is finally over as Warner Bros' much-awaited and anticipated superhero movie, Wonder Woman 1984 starring Gal Gadot as Diana Prince/Wonder Woman is arriving this December. The movie isn't skipping the theatrical option but is altering course.

The Patty Jenkins directorial will be opening in the United States theatres on Christmas Day (December 25) but will also be made available to HBO Max subscribers free of charge for its first month, Warner Bros. said Thursday. The movie will also debut in international theatres on December 16 where HBO Max isn't available.



Sharing the news with fans, lead star Gal Gadot took to Twitter and wrote, "IT'S TIME. We've all waited a long time for this one to come. I can't tell you how excited I am for all of you to see this movie. It wasn't an easy decision and we never thought we'd have to hold onto the release for such a long time but Covid rocked all of our worlds. We feel the movie has never been so relevant and we hope that it'll bring some joy, hope, and love to your hearts".

"Wonder Woman 1984 is a special one for me and I can only hope it'll be as special to you too. We've put our hearts and souls into it. So.. you can watch it IN THEATERS (they're doing an amazing job keeping it safe) and you can watch it on HBOMax from your homes. Sending you my love. Please keep safe and wear a mask. Happy holidays to all of us! Let the light shine in".

Warner Media CEO Jason Killar said that they will be measuring the performance of the film in "an entirely new way". "A little over four million fans in the U.S. enjoyed the first Wonder Woman movie on its opening day in 2017. Is it possible for that to happen again this Christmas with Wonder Woman 1984 between theatres and HBO Max?" Killar wrote Wednesday. "We are so excited to find out, doing everything in our power to provide the power of choice to fans".

Fans aren't too pleased with Warner Bros' strategy and have been protesting on social media against the film's release on HBO Max. Some are even miffed that countries without HBO Max are not taken into consideration. A fan asked Patty Jenkins, "Patty, do you know how long the movie will be at theaters? weeks? months? and what about countries that don't have HBO MAX and the cinemas are not opened?".

Responding to them she wrote, "Good question. We have plans to hold it in theaters for quite a long time, and hopefully long enough that it will still be there when theaters all over the world ARE open".

Apart from Gal Gadot, Wonder Woman 1984 will also star Chris Pine, Kristen Wiig, Pedro Pascal, Robin Wright, and Connie Nielsen in the key roles. It is produced by DC Films, Atlas Entertainment, The Stone Quarry, and Mad Ghost Productions.
