Aquaman 2 Remains Unaffected Amid The Flash's DCU Reset
The highly anticipated release of The Flash, the latest DC superhero movie, on June 16 has raised questions about its impact on the upcoming Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.
The Flash, being a time travel film, is set to disrupt the established events of the DC Extended Universe. With characters like Zod, played by Michael Shannon, coming back to life, fans have been curious about the potential consequences for Aquaman 2.
However, director James Wan has reassured fans that Aquaman 2 will not be significantly affected by The Flash.
Throughout the production, Wan has made adjustments to navigate the various versions of the DCU, which have undergone transformations over time. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he explained, "The Aquaman universe is pretty far removed from the rest of the world. We're exploring different underwater kingdoms that are not necessarily tied to the other movies and characters, making us a stand-alone story. So, while I can tell my own narrative without being impacted too much, I still need to be mindful of the overall continuity."
Wan's statement confirms that Aquaman 2 will maintain its unique storyline and distinctiveness, allowing the film to flourish within its own captivating underwater realm.
Aquaman 2 is scheduled for release on December 20, 2023, by Warner Bros. Pictures. The film features Jason Momoa reprising his role as Arthur Curry/Aquaman, who must defend Atlantis from destruction when an ancient power is unleashed. It boasts a star-studded cast, including returning actors from the first film such as Amber Heard, Willem Dafoe, Patrick Wilson, Dolph Lundgren, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Temeura Morrison, and Nicole Kidman.
Initially, the film was slated for release on December 16, 2022, but the date was later shifted to March 17, 2023. Subsequently, it was moved once again to December 25, 2023, before settling on its current release date of December 20, 2023.
