Ahead of the release of 'Wonder Woman 1984' in movie theaters, Dubai's iconic Burj Khalifa paid a special tribute to the legendary superhero.

Teasers from the movie flashed on the world's tallest tower, as Jo Blankenburg’s music score played in the background to cheering fans.

Helmed by Patty Jenkins, the second standalone film in the franchise hits the UAE cinemas today.

Actor Gal Gadot also expressed her delight at the historic moment on her official social media channels.

"This is unreal! WW84 covering the Burj Khalifa in Dubai," she wrote, while sharing a video from the ceremony.
