Recent reports have claimed that Warner Bros. stuck to their guns and kept Wonder Woman 1984 as a Christmas Day release because they were worried about a movie that wrapped shooting over two years ago going stale if it was forced to sit on the shelf any longer. And having already been scheduled for November and then December of 2019 before staking out dates in June, August and October of this year then eventually settling on December, you can understand why the studio wanted to get the blockbuster sequel out there without any more delays.
