WW 1984 isn't the first movie to go the streaming route, given the ongoing global pandemic. Pixar's
Soul is set to drop Christmas Day on Disney+, and will be available to all subscribers right way, instead of requiring them to pay extra to watch it early as the platform had done for
Mulan when it was released a few months ago.
Wonder Woman 1984 is a sequel to the box-office smashing 2017 origin story of Diana Prince. The follow-up, also directed by Patty Jenkins (
Star Wars: Rogue Squadron) and starring Gal Gadot in the titular role, picks up decades after the first film, with Diana living in the '80s and maintaining a secret identity as a superhero while also working for the Smithsonian. But when a mysterious magic stone that grants people their deepest wish appears and starts wreaking havoc, she knows she has to step in and save the world, lest it descend into chaos.
