Is there any specific reason the second Wonder Woman movie is set in the 1980s, and 1984 in particular, rather than the present?
By the way, if Chris Pine's character Steve Trevor remains intact in this timeline, he would be in his 60s or 70s now.
If they do another time jump and set the third movie in the present, or regardless of when future movies are set, if they still want to use Chris Pine as Steve Trevor, they're going to have to keep putting him in temporal stasis.

Well, it's an answer, and it explains Patty Jenkins' thinking, so thank you for that.

I think Gal Gadot said that she'd like if they set Wonder Woman 3 in the present.

Because somehow we're still not tired of 80s nostalgia.

Because somehow we're still not tired of 80s nostalgia. I'm certainly not! I don't mind it being set in 1984, I was just wondering why. I like it a hell of a lot better than the first movie's World War I setting.

Wonder Woman 1984 actually has the visual look and style of a 1980s action-adventure movie, specifically a 1980s superhero movie.
It actually kind of looks like Superman III, with much better visual effects and action set pieces, of course.
Before you knock it, I'm strictly talking about Superman III's look, which still had a big budget and an epic scale, despite it not setting and living up to high expectations, especially with trying to make Richard Pryor's comedic schtick a major part of the movie.
Superman III was a big-budget epic in terms of its production value and look.
Superman IV: The Quest for Peace went down the drain because it switched hands from Warner Brothers and Alexander and Ilya Salkind to Canon Films (Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus), which made it on the really cheap and didn't give Christopher Reeve's story the attention and care it deserved.
