''Wonder Woman 1984'' was originally scheduled for a [[Wide release|wide theatrical release]] in North America on June 5, 2020, but was delayed multiple times and eventually cancelled [[Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cinema|due to the global COVID-19 pandemic]]. The film premiered on December 15, 2020, via the [[DC FanDome]] virtual platform, theatrically released in the U.S. by [[Warner Bros. Pictures]] 10 days later and made available for streaming digitally on [[HBO Max]] for a month before moving to [[premium video on demand]]. It received mixed reviews from critics who praised its "escapist qualities" and Jenkins's direction, but found it "overindulgent or cliché". The film grossed $166 million worldwide, [[Box-office bomb|failing to break even]] due to limited theaters during the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], but became the most-watched straight-to-streaming title of 2020.

==Plot==
<!-- Per WP:FILMPLOT, the plot summary should be 400-700 words. -->
A young [[Diana Prince (DC Extended Universe)|Diana]] participates in an athletic event on [[Themyscira (DC Comics)|Themyscira]] against older Amazons. After falling from her horse due to looking back at her opponents, Diana takes a shortcut and remounts, but misses a checkpoint. [[Antiope (comics)|Antiope]] removes her from the competition, explaining anything worthwhile must be obtained honestly.
 
In 1984, Diana works at the [[Smithsonian Institution]] in [[Washington, D.C.]] while secretly performing heroic deeds as Wonder Woman. New museum employee [[Cheetah (character)#Barbara Ann Minerva|Barbara Ann Minerva]], a shy [[geologist]] and [[cryptozoologist]], is barely seen by her co-workers and comes to envy Diana. Later, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] asks the museum to identify stolen antiquities from a robbery that Wonder Woman recently foiled. Barbara and Diana notice one item, later identified as the Dreamstone, contains a Latin inscription claiming to grant the holder one wish.
 
Barbara wishes to become like Diana, but acquires the same superpowers, while Diana unknowingly wishes for her deceased lover [[Steve Trevor]] to be alive, resurrecting him in another man's body; the two are reunited at a Smithsonian gala. Failing businessman [[Maxwell Lord|Maxwell "Max Lord" Lorenzano]] tricks Barbara and steals the Dreamstone, hoping to use its power to save his bankrupt oil company. He wishes to "become" the stone and gains its wish-granting powers, becoming a wealthy and powerful figure who creates chaos and destruction as his powers trigger worldwide instability.
 
Barbara, Diana and Steve discover that the Dreamstone was created by [[Dolos (mythology)|Dolos/Mendacius]], the god of mischief, also known as the [[Duke of Deception]]. It grants a user's wish while exacting a toll unless they renounce the wish or destroy the stone. Although Diana's power and Barbara's humanity diminish, both are unwilling to renounce their wishes. Learning from the [[President of the United States|U.S. President]] of a satellite system that broadcasts signals globally, Max, whose powers are causing his body to deteriorate, plans to globally grant wishes to steal strength and life force from the viewers and regain his health. Diana and Steve confront him at the [[White House]], but Barbara, now aligned with Max, betrays Diana and knocks her down, escaping with Max on [[Marine One]]. Steve convinces Diana to renounce her wish and let him go, restoring her strength and gaining an ability to fly.
 
Donning the armor of Amazon warrior Asteria, Diana flies to the satellite headquarters and again battles Barbara, who has transformed into a humanoid [[cheetah]] after wishing to become an [[apex predator]]. Following a brutal match, Diana tackles Barbara into a lake and electrocutes her, then pulls her out. She confronts Max and uses her [[Lasso of Truth]] to communicate with the world through him, persuading everyone to renounce their wishes. She then shows Max visions of his own unhappy childhood and of his son, Alistair, who is frantically searching for his father amid the chaos. Max renounces his wish and reunites with Alistair and Barbara returns to normal. Some time later, Diana meets the man whose body Steve possessed. Meanwhile, Asteria is revealed to be secretly living among humans.

===Controversy===
The plot point of Steve inhabiting the body of another man, credited as "Handsome Man", was criticized for putting his body into dangerous situations and being used without his consent, including a sex scene between Diana and Steve. Criticism was aimed at the film's lack of acknowledgment of what happened to the man while Steve was inhabiting his body, as well as Diana and Steve not appearing to consider the issue of consent, even if Steve coming back but in another man's body was not any of the characters' intention.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Owen|first=Phil|date=January 2, 2021|title='Wonder Woman 1984': Steve Trevor's Resurrection Is Super Problematic|url=https://www.thewrap.com/lets-talk-about-steve-trevor-problematic-resurrection-in-wonder-woman-1984-handsome-guy-chris-pine/|access-date=January 3, 2021|work=[[The Wrap]]|archive-date=January 3, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210103222253/https://www.thewrap.com/lets-talk-about-steve-trevor-problematic-resurrection-in-wonder-woman-1984-handsome-guy-chris-pine/|url-status=live}}</ref> ''[[Dan Abrams#The Mary Sue|The Mary Sue]]'' described the event as a [[rape]] and strongly condemned it.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.themarysue.com/patty-jenkins-responds-wonder-woman-1984-body-swap-criticism/|title=Patty Jenkins' Disappointing Response to Criticism of Body-Swapping Storyline in Wonder Woman 1984|work=[[Dan Abrams#The Mary Sue|The Mary Sue]]|first=Princess|last=Weekes|date=January 4, 2021|access-date=January 10, 2021|archive-date=January 7, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210107215214/https://www.themarysue.com/patty-jenkins-responds-wonder-woman-1984-body-swap-criticism/|url-status=live}}</ref> Jenkins replied in agreement to a fan's [[twitter|tweet]] that tries to explain there were no issues with this plot aspect, that the film was following the [[trope (cinema)|trope]] of a [[body swap]], similar to ''[[Big (film)|Big]]'' or ''[[Freaky Friday (1976 film)|Freaky Friday]]''.
