Aquaman 2 is looming large on the horizon, and DC and Warner Bros will be eager for the king of the seven seas to make significant waves in theaters. Five years after its release, the first Aquaman remains the most lucrative movie ever headlined by a DC Comics character – more successful than Superman, Batman or Wonder Woman – so the studio will be looking for a similarly impressive box-office return over the holiday season.
The new movie also marks the end of an era. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom will be the final film released in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) before new DC Studios CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran unleash their new line-up of DC movies and TV shows – starting with Guardians of the Galaxy director Gunn’s own Superman: Legacy in 2025.
Can this underwater sequel send a decade of superhero storytelling – which began with 2013’s Man of Steel – out with a bang? Below we explain everything you need to know about the Aquaman 2 release date, trailer, cast, and story. We’ll also discuss reshoots, star Amber Heard’s supposedly reduced role in the movie, and why one (or maybe even two) Batmen might be going for a swim in this eagerly anticipated blockbuster sequel.
