The follow-up to the origin story starring Jason Momoa as the titular character was meant to hit screens next March, but issues at Warner Bros. has pushed back the release date. As a result, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom will only be released on December 25, 2023.

Another film feeling the effects of the studio restructuring is the Shazam! sequel. Shazam! Fury of the Gods was initially set to premiere this December, but will instead come out on March 17, 2023—Aquaman’s original date. 

The moves follow the merger of WarnerMedia and Discovery, Inc in April this year. The head of the Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group stepped down in May, leading to DC Films, Warner Bros. Pictures, New Line Cinema, and Warner Animation Group all receiving their own leadership. Warner Bros. Discovery has been looking to spread out the marketing and distribution costs associated with releasing a studio tentpole, resulting in Aquaman and Shazam! being shuffled on the calendar. 

Although the delay is disappointing, fans of both franchises can breathe a sigh of relief that the movies didn’t suffer the same fate as Batgirl which was totally shelved, despite being complete and costing $90 million to produce.

Despite the Jason Momoa film becoming DC’s highest grossing ever, the studio took its time in announcing a follow-up.

But our hopes are no longer at sea, as an Aquaman 2 is definitely on its way!

David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick has been hired once again to pen the script, though details of the plot remain submerged. James Wan, who directed the original, is also likely to return for round 2 as he has already signed on to produce, along with Peter Safran.

Just last week, Warner Bros. announced that it would be creating an Aquaman spin-off based on the monstrous members of The Trench who featured as villains in the superhero flick.

The Trench will also be produced by Wan and Safran, though no members of the Aquaman cast will be starring in the feature.

No date has been set for the Aquaman sequel as yet, but it’s going to have to rise to the original’s global box office earnings of $1.1 billion.
