Gal Gadot announced on Instagram that filming on Wonder Woman 1984 is now complete.

“We shot in four very different locations in three countries, and I’m so soooo proud of the almost 1000 crew members who came to set every day, giving everything they have into our movie,” Gadot captioned a photo of her in her full Wonder Woman regalia, surrounded by Jenkins and the other people who worked on the movie.

“I’m so lucky to have the one and only Patty Jenkins, as my director,” Gadot added. “She always has our backs, she gives us the wings to dare, and every day she helped us find the most creative version of ourselves. I am so grateful to call her my friend. And to our AMAZINGLY talented cast who made every day enjoyable and fun, thank you!”

The sequel to 2017’s Wonder Woman, which is part of the DC Comics cinematic universe, is set for release on June 5, 2020.
