Warner Bros Changes Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom Release Date To December 2023

JAKARTA - The production house Warner Bros. has changed several release dates for their upcoming films. James Wan's latest film, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is confirmed to be canceled in March 2023.

Citing Deadline, originally this Aquaman sequel was set to release on March 17, 2023. However, because the post-production was still running, they changed the release date to December 25, 2023.

Aquaman is one of the successful DC franchises at the box office.

On the other hand, Warner Bros. filled March 17 with the film Shazam: Fury of the Gods. The film directed by David F. Sandberg was initiated for release on December 21 this year.

It seems that Shazam will compete with the release of the film Avatar: The Way of Water from Disney.

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, which is still being directed by James Wan, brings together Jason Momoa and Amber Heard. It is known that Heard's name became a conversation when he collided with his ex-husband, Johnny Depp.

As a result, the public had time to make a petition for Amber Heard to step down from her role in the Aquaman sequel. However, both the production house and the co-stars are reluctant to do so.

"Directors James Wan and Jason Momoa insisted Heard stay in Aquaman 2," said industry expert Kathryn Arnold.

"The social media campaign to get Amber out of Aquaman used defamatory statements," he continued.

To date, Warner Bros. has not released an official synopsis for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.
