Jenkins won’t direct but instead executive produce for Warner Bros., which is due to her attachment to the superhero franchise. During the Wonder Woman 1984 press conference at CCXP 2019, the talented director revealed the news about the Themyscira-focused spinoff film.

The first trailer for 1984 will hit the Brazil Comic-Con during the live-stream of the panel. The film will follow Wonder Woman as the love of her life Steve Trevor mysteriously returns, while Pedro Pascal’s Maxwell Lord and Kristen Wiig’s Cheetah serve as the primary antagonists.
