premiere simultaneously in theaters and on HBO Max. The highly anticipated film is next up in Warner Bros.' DCEU that will see The Suicide Squad hit theaters and HBO Max next year. After that, the DCEU has a packed 2022 with four movies set to be released, including the highly anticipated new Batman starring Robert Pattinson.
The Gal Gadot led sequel is being helmed by Patty Jenkins. Chris Pine is returning, in addition to a slew of new faces that will see Wonder Woman face off against Pedro Pascal's Maxwell Lord and Kristen Wiig's Cheetah. First reactions to the film indicate a confident and heartfelt sequel that is sure to please fans. One thing was missing, though.
Jenkins revealed that those who got to see the film early were deprived of one thing: a crucial post-credits scene. The director told CinemaBlend that the film would have a post-credits scene, if not more than one. The version of the film shown early to critics did not include the scene. The director didn't reveal much about the scene, but Jenkins did say it will be attached to both the theatrical version and the one streaming on HBO Max.
A post-credits scene is an exciting prospect for fans. Wonder Woman 1984 is part of the DCEU's centralized timeline, making the entry a critical stepping stone in the franchise's future. With Zack Snyder's Justice League also possibly teasing the future of the DCEU, the scene could give fans ever-important clues that indicate the franchise's direction. The Flash, Aquaman 2, and The Suicide Squad are all reportedly part of that timeline.
The DCEU has faced fits and starts since its beginning. With little to no hints about what's next for the DCEU, the scene could be a pivotal stepping stone for DC's heroes' future. It could also be just a supplementary scene, akin to the first Avengers post-credits scene where the heroes eat shawarma in a wrecked restaurant. That's unlikely to be the case, though. Wonder Woman 1984 will bring Diana Prince's story closer to the modern-day and closer to the events of films like Batman vs Superman and Justice League. Either way, the scene will be a pleasant surprise at the end of the year devoid of those.
