Wonder Woman 1984 is fast approaching its Christmas release date, and it has already gathered several positive reviews online. However, Patty Jenkins has revealed that the film has a post-credits scene that wasn't screened for critics -- but there's a very good reason why.
Jenkins was a guest on the ReelBlend podcast, where she was asked if the film had a post-credits scene. "Yes," Jenkins said simply. She further elaborated on why the post-credits scene wasn't screened for critics. "Let that be something to save for the audience. Just because, God forbid, somebody writes about it, you’re like, 'Well, then what fun was it? Now we should have just attached it to the end of the movie!'"
Jenkins also confirmed that the post-credits scene would be on both the theatrical version of the film as well as streaming. Wonder Woman 1984 is embracing a dual release in theaters and on HBO Max on Christmas Day, with Warner Bros. following a similar model for its entire slate of 2021 films including the upcoming DC film The Suicide Squad. Wonder Woman 1984 suffered several delays due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic shuttering theaters, with Warner Bros. moving the film's release date several times. Warner Bros. is also developing an Amazons spinoff which will set up the third Wonder Woman film.
As an archaeologist, Diana who works at the Smithsonian Museum, is a Wonder Woman who has extraordinary superpowers, said to be the strongest hero in the world. In 1984, Wonder Woman is in desperate deadly danger in face of an enormous conspiracy of the businessman Max, who sings loudly to fulfill people's desires, and a mysterious foe, Cheetah. Can Wonder Woman stop the world’s collapse alone?
Directed and co-written by Patty Jenkins, Wonder Woman 1984 stars Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Kristen Wiig, Pedro Pascal and Natasha Rothwell. The film arrives in theaters and HBO Max on Dec. 25, while debuting theatrically in international markets starting on Dec. 16. The film will be available for a month on HBO Max in the U.S. included at no additional cost.
