So, DC Fandome kicked off in right ‘ol royal form tonight with the final trailer for Wonder Woman 1984 and, with it, we get our first pretty awesome look at Kristen Wiig as Cheetah!
Also, a very groovy poster from the event (above), assuring us the movie is coming to cinema.
The fun panel had stars Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Pedro Pascal and Wiig. Joining them was director Patty Jenkins as well as tennis star Venus Williams and TV’s Wonder Woman, Lynda Carter.

The movie has had several delays in release, in no small part due to that damned virus, but we’re assured that the movie will arrive on October 22nd, 2020.
Wonder Woman 1984 has seen its release date delayed several times, and is currently slated for release on October 2, 2020 – although a new poster released ahead of DC FanDome didn’t feature a release date, perhaps a sign of Warner Bros. keeping its options open given the current global uncertainty around the COVID-19 pandemic.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
