In lieu of the movie's June release, Warner Bros. has released a few more images to sate fans' cravings. Here's what we know based on all the photos and taking a second look at the trailer released last December.

Over the past month, Warner Bros. has released a steady trickle of new photos of Wonder Woman 1984, the sequel to 2017's Wonder Woman. Originally scheduled to open in theaters on June 5, the Covid-19 pandemic has delayed the movie's opening weekend until August 12.

In 1984, Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) finds a new challenge in two enemies ripped straight from her comic books: television huckster Maxwell Lord (Pedro Pascal) and archaeologist turned half-wildcat Cheetah (Kristen Wiig). Wonder Woman confronts these foes in the year 1984, in the twilight years of the Cold War. It's a change of pace from where we last saw her, in the middle of World War I, then known as "The Great War" and the "War to End All Wars."

5. Well, we know they're not friends – The trailer for Wonder Woman 1984 opens with Wonder Woman and Dr. Barbara Ann Minerva (Wiig) sharing friendly conversation over wine. It's girl's night! But based on the most revealing photo yet, we know that friendship won't last long.

In the photo, Wonder Woman has Barbara tied up with her lasso, the Lasso of Hestia (also known as the Lasso of Truth). Barbara is also dressed in a cheetah print outfit, suggesting she is somewhere halfway into her complete transformation as the villainous Cheetah. With the two former friends on opposite sides, we know that their friendship in the movie will not last. They're going to fight soon enough, and it's going to be devastating for Diana.
