Wonder Woman 1984 To Release On December 24 In India
Notably, Gal is also attached to Wonder Woman 1984 as a producer. Talking about the film, she had said in a statement, "It was an amazing opportunity for me to really learn from the best. I do what I do out of passion and love for the arts and the craft. And, even though I'm the one who, along with (director) Patty (Jenkins), knows the character so well because I play her, there's something so eye-opening in being involved in such a huge project from such an early stage, and being involved in the creation of the story, the visuals and the locations... all of those things. I've learned so much from Patty and from (producer) Chuck Roven, and now having my own production company I find it very useful, so it was great."
Wonder Woman 1984 released in India today, on December 24, 2020. The film will hit the US theatres on Christmas- December 25. The Gal Gadot-starrer also stars Chris Pine as Steve Trevor, Robin Wright as Antiope and Connie Nielsen as Hippolyta.
