Scenes from the next movie in the Wonder Woman series will be filmed at Landmark Mall in Alexandria's West End this summer, Alexandria officials confirmed Thursday evening.
It will be the next movie in the Wonder Woman series. The first movie was released in the summer of 2017. This movie will star Gal Gadot, Kristen Wiig and Lynda Carter.
Scenes in Alexandria could be filmed in June and July, according to the Washington Business Journal. The movie has a release date of November 2019.
Earlier this spring, Marinella Hume Casting put out a request for actors and extras for a “major feature film” shooting in Virginia this summer, but the casting company would not release the name of the film.
Multiple feature films and television shows have shot scenes here in Alexandria. The list, according to Visit Alexandria President and CEO Patricia Washington, includes Jackie starring Natalie Portman, and J. Edgar starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Television networks Discovery, HGTV, Bravo, The Cooking Channel and more have filmed episodes and scenes in Alexandria, as well.
"And we were thrilled when Alexandria’s history inspired the PBS series Mercy Street, which was filmed in the Richmond area. Alexandria is attractive to many film producers due to our proximity to D.C., differing 'looks' in diverse neighborhoods and the ease of working with the Alexandria Film Office, operated by Visit Alexandria,” Washington said earlier this spring.
The Amazon series Mount Hideaway is also filming in in Old Town Alexandria this summer (read more here).
Howard Hughes Corp. owns much of the Landmark Mall property, including Macy’s and the main mall structure. Both are closed and awaiting redevelopment. The Carpenter's Shelter will be moving into a temporary space in Macy's later this month.
