Warner Bros Announces New Release Dates for ‘Aquaman 2,’ ‘The Flash’, & ‘Shazam 2’ After Postponement
Several Warner Bros. projects, including Aquaman 2, The Flash, Shazam 2, Wonka, and many others, have been rescheduled.
DC has always been able to dominate the box office with their films. Due to the pandemic, there weren’t many DC movies released in 2021, but the superhero series returned in 2022 and got off to a strong start with the blockbuster The Batman starring Robert Pattinson. At the domestic box office, Matt Reeves’ directorial brought in roughly $134 million. After Spider-Man: No Way Home, it became the second-highest debut of the pandemic era.
The movies released by Warner Bros. are a huge delight for moviegoers. However, it appears that fans will have to wait a little longer for their next favourite superhero movie. WB, the studio behind Aquaman 2, The Flash, Shazam 2, and other upcoming features, has opted to move the release dates of a number of its projects, including Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom and The Flash have both been pushed back to 2023 because of the pandemic and the delays it has caused. As of Dec. 16, 2022, Jason Momoa’s Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom was pushed back to March 17, 2023. However, the release date of Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam has been postponed by three months to Oct. 21, 2022 instead.
Listed below are all of the new release dates for the films.
