Good point. I honestly forgot about those movies since he's not onscreen.
A drama class and the kids doesn't know Julie Andrews? That is depressing. I've never been a big musical guy but I knew those movies and that actor when I was in high school. I guess the constant flood of new stuff was already rendering almost anything older than a decade to be ancient and uninteresting and I assume it's only gotten worse with most kids today as there is even more stuff to see.
The window of 'old stuff' that kids have given a chance has always been fairly small but I really think it's gotten smaller once DVDs started and certainly today with streaming.
If you're a snob for knowing Julie Andrews, I can't imagine what she'd think of me for what high brow (David Lynch) and lowbrow (Russ Meyer) stuff that I knew about in high school. And yeah, that was definitely a point to take the opportunity to get some new eyes on an 'old' actor which every educator or fan should want to do.

I'd imagine that the ad campaign has to start for Wonder Woman by mid-November-ish so it's getting close to decision time. And I think that decision will be Summer 2021.Italy is shutting down movie theaters again amidst a coronavirus spike there. Although for now this is only through November 24, there is no guarantee of when they will actually open again.
Italy Shutters Movie Theaters Again Through Nov. 24
As coronavirus cases surge Italy is shutting movie theaters again prompting protests from local exhibitors.
I am sure WB will consider this when determining what do do with Diana.
