While most of this week’s chatter concerning DC Studios will be about the much-anticipated screening of “The Flash” on Tuesday night, Warner Bros. Discovery’s big CinemaCon presentation also offered the first real look at the other big-budget DC fantasy, James Wan’s “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.”
Originally set for release in December 2022 and then pushed first to March of this year and finally on December 20, 2023, the underwater actioner features the return of Jason Momoa as Aquaman as he reluctantly teams with his deposed brother (Patrick Wilson) to deal with a series of threats, including the return of Yahya Abdul-Mateen II’s vengeful Black Manta.
