The movie is set to open in theaters Nov. 1, 2019.
On Wednesday, Gadot tweeted a photo of her as the immortal Diana Prince/Wonder Woman looking at numerous television monitors. She captioned the image, "Wonder Woman 1984."
One of the screens shows Larry Hagman in a scene from the TV series Dallas, while another features model Christie Brinkley sitting in her red sports car in the big-screen comedy Vacation.
Jenkins shared on Twitter a photo of Pine in a shopping mall, surrounded by people wearing 1980s-style clothing.
"Welcome to WONDER WOMAN 1984, Steve Trevor!" Jenkins tweeted.
