Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins and Geoff Johns, DC Entertainment president and chief creative officer, both offered a sneak peek at the Wonder Woman sequel on social media by sharing the image below:

Johns posted the image on Facebook while Jenkins changed her Twitter background. The image reads “WW84”, hinting at the 1980’s setting of the sequel film. The as yet untitled sequel will take place during the Cold War and feature Kristen Wiig as famous adversary Cheetah. Pedro Pascal (Games of Thrones) has also been added to the cast, although his roll is under wraps for now. Warner Bros. has set the sequel for Nov. 1, 2019, and we can’t wait.

Chelsea was born and raised in New Orleans, which explains her affinity for cheesy grits and Britney Spears. An pop culture journalist since 2012, her work has appeared on Autostraddle, AfterEllen, and more. Her beats include queer popular culture, film, television, republican clownery, and the unwavering belief that 'The Long Kiss Goodnight' is the greatest movie ever made. She currently resides in sunny Los Angeles, with her husband, 2 sons, and one poorly behaved rescue dog. She is a former roller derby girl and a black belt in Judo, so she is not to be trifled with. She loves the word “Jewess” and wishes more people used it to describe her.
