Scheduled to open in theaters on December 20th, 2023, “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” promises to take audiences on another thrilling underwater adventure. The trailer offers a taste of the epic action sequences, stunning visual effects, and the return of beloved characters from the first film.
Joining Jason Momoa in the cast are Patrick Wilson, who reprises his role as Orm (Aquaman’s half-brother and the primary antagonist of the first film), Amber Heard as Mera, and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, who gained critical acclaim for his portrayal of Black Manta. The ensemble cast’s chemistry and performances are sure to captivate audiences once again.
Interestingly, as the movie’s release date approaches, there is an ongoing strike by SAG-AFTRA, the actors’ union. This means that the stars of “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” may not be able to promote the film as they normally would. However, the anticipation surrounding the sequel remains unwavering, as fans eagerly look forward to diving back into the underwater world of Atlantis.
Admittedly, the journey to bring “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” to the screen has not been without its challenges. Like many films affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, its release date underwent several changes. Initially slated for December 2022, it was later moved to March 2023 before settling on the current Christmas 2023 release. Additionally, the film experienced changes in leadership at Warner Bros. and underwent some reshoots to ensure the best possible cinematic experience for viewers.
It’s worth noting that “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” marks the culmination of the universe that began with Zack Snyder’s “Man of Steel” in 2013. After this film, the DCEU is set to take a different direction under the guidance of James Gunn and producer Peter Safran. Their upcoming project, “Superman: Legacy,” is set to hit theaters in July 2025, promising a fresh take on the iconic superhero.
Director James Wan teased that “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” would not only deliver exhilarating action and fantasy but also touch upon the critical issue of climate change. While the film aims to entertain and transport audiences to a world of adventure, it also cleverly weaves in a timely and relevant message.
