Aquaman 2 Release Date Updates: James Wan and Jason Momoa Provide New Insights
Warner Bros. and DC Films have been tight-lipped about the release date for Aquaman 2, but recent updates from director James Wan and star Jason Momoa have shed some light on when we can expect the highly anticipated sequel.
Initial Release Window
In October 2020, Warner Bros. announced that Aquaman 2 was scheduled to release on December 25, 2022. This put the film in competition with other major blockbusters like Avatar 3 and Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two. However, it’s become clear that the film won’t be ready in time for the holiday season.
New Release Window
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, James Wan revealed that the production schedule for Aquaman 2 has been adjusted due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Although the director didn’t confirm a new release date, he hinted that the film would likely hit theaters sometime in 2023. "We’re still on schedule, but we’re going to take our time and make sure we’re getting it right," Wan said.
Jason Momoa’s Update
On Instagram, Jason Momoa shared a post confirming that filming for Aquaman 2 has not yet begun. "Workin’ on gettin’ the script right and when we’re ready to roll, we’ll be underwater and ready to save the world… again!" The actor’s post, which included a photo of him training for the film, suggested that production could begin later this year or early next year.
Takeaways
While there’s no official release date for Aquaman 2 yet, it’s clear that the film won’t hit theaters in 2022. Fans can expect an update from Warner Bros. and DC Films later this year, possibly at San Diego Comic-Con or during DC FanDome. For now, James Wan and Jason Momoa’s dedication to delivering a quality film is reassuring, and fans will have to patiently wait for the next chapter in the underwater adventures of Aquaman.
In the meantime, stay tuned for more updates on the release date and production timeline for Aquaman 2!
