The superhero movie, which will feature the return of Jason Momoa in the titular role, just finished its third round of reshoots.
Even though it may seem that Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom has been sitting on a hard disc somewhere, frequent reports make it clear that the highly anticipated sequel is actually going through major overhauls. When the time finally comes to check it on the big screen, the new adventure of the DC subaquatic superhero will probably look nothing like its first version.
The Hollywood Reporter reveals that, according to sources, changes have been happening in Aquaman 2 – which has just finished its whopping third round of reshoots – because the movie needs to reflect the ever-changing status of the DC Universe. In Batman’s case, both Affleck and Michael Keaton took part and filmed scenes at some point.
Now, after The Flash failed to make an impression at the global box office even with multiple Batmen in tow, it seems that the order of business is to make Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom completely Batman-free. Sources explain that the reason behind this decision is that new DC heads James Gunn and Peter Safran want to steer away from presenting a shared universe before it completely takes shape – which was one of the biggest errors that the DC Extended Universe made in the past.
There are also several test screenings in play – which is pretty common for blockbusters – to gauge audience response to the movie. Despite all this chaos, it seems that at the end of the day Warner Bros. is confident that Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom could be a hit, otherwise the studio would just shelve it and not bother to spend millions of dollars on reshoots.
Currently, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is slated for a December 20 release after multiple delays. For now, there is no official word on whether the recent changes will affect the movie’s release date once again. Check our interview with Jason Momoa below:
