Set in 1984 during the Cold War, the film follows Diana and her past love Steve Trevor as they face off against Max Lord and Cheetah.
Discussion of a sequel began shortly after the release of the first film in June 2017 and the decision to proceed was confirmed the following month. Principal photography began on June 13, 2018, with filming taking place at Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden in England, as well as the District of Columbia and Northern Virginia in the United States, London and Duxford in England, Tenerife and Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands, and AlmerÃa in Andalusia, Spain.

Wonder Woman 1984 premiered on December 15, 2020, via the DC FanDome virtual platform. It was theatrically released in the United States by Warner Bros. Pictures on December 25, 2020, and also made available to be streamed digitally on HBO Max for a month before it will go to premium video on demand. In international markets that do not have HBO Max, the film was theatrically released beginning on December 16, 2020. It was praised for its "escapist qualities" and Jenkins' take on the 1980s, but many critics found it "overindulgent or cliché".[6][7] It has grossed $118 million worldwide, and became the most-watched straight-to-streaming title of 2020. A sequel is in development, with Jenkins and Gadot returning.
PLOT
Plot
In her youth, Diana Prince participates in a athletic competition on Themyscira against older Amazons overseen by Queen Hippolyta. After falling from her horse, Diana takes a shortcut to catch up to it. However, Antiope removes her from the competition for this, advising Diana that any worthwhile goal must be achieved through honest effort.
In 1984, Diana works at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.. She also clandestinely rescues people and stops crime. One day at work, Diana introduces herself to Barbara Ann Minerva, a new archaeologist and zoologist with the museum. Barbara is good-natured, but also socially awkward and unassertive, which make most people look past her. She forms a fast friendship with Diana, whom she immediately comes to admire and envy. Barbara is asked by the FBI to identify stolen antiquities from a robbery Diana had earlier foiled. Barbara and Diana notice one artifact — later revealed to be the "Dreamstone" — contains a Latin inscription claiming that anyone holding it will have any one wish granted. Diana unknowingly uses the stone to wish her deceased lover Steve Trevor back to life. After being saved by Diana from a rapist[8], Barbara wishes upon the stone to become like Diana, attaining Diana's superpowers.
Failing businessman Maxwell "Max Lord" Lorenzano visits the Smithsonian under the pretext of being a wealthy donor. He had arranged for the Dreamstone to be delivered to him in hopes of using its power to save his oil company. Diana discovers a connection between Max and the stone and attends a gala at the Smithsonian to investigate further. Once there, she is reunited with Steve, whose soul inhabits another man's body and only Diana sees him as Steve. Attending the same gala, Max seduces Barbara to gain access to her office and steal the Dreamstone. He later uses the stone to become the stone and gains its wish-granting powers, along with the ability to take whatever he desires from others to fulfill the cost of the wishes. Max becomes a powerful figure who leaves chaos and destruction in his wake as his powers trigger worldwide instability.
With Barbara's help, Diana and Steve discover that the Dreamstone was created by Dolos, the god of lies, treachery, deception, and mischief. The stone grants a user their wish but exacts a toll, and the only way to reverse the exchange is by renouncing the wish or destroying the stone. Steve realizes his existence comes at the cost of Diana's power, while Barbara's newfound life has taken her humanity. Neither woman, however, is willing to renounce her wish.
Max's powers take a toll on him physically as his body slowly deteriorates. He learns from the President of the United States of a government satellite system that broadcasts communication signals globally. Max plans to uses it to grant wishes to the entire world population to rid himself of his power and regain his health. Diana and Steve confront him at the White House, only for Barbara to joins forces with Max out of gratitude. She defeats Diana, allowing Max's escape. Steve ultimately convinces Diana to renounce her wish and let him go, restoring her strength and discovering an ability to fly.
Diana returns home and dons the armor of legendary Amazon warrior Asteria. She then heads to the satellite headquarters and again battles Barbara, who has mutated into a cheetah-like creature after wishing to become an apex predator. After defeating Barbara, Diana confronts Max and uses her Lasso of Truth to communicate with the world through him, convincing everyone to renounce their wishes. She also shows Max visions: first of his own unhappy childhood, then of his young son, Alistair, wandering the streets crying for his father amid the chaos Max created. Max renounces his wish and reunites with Alistair, promising to be a better father.
Months later, Diana meets the man whose body Steve possessed, granting her a level of closure regarding her loss. She also resolves to continuing watching over the world. Meanwhile, Asteria is revealed to be secretly living among humans.
