Aquaman Release Date Pushed Back From October To December 2018

Warner Bros. announces that it has decided to delay the release of the studio’s upcoming DC Comics superhero film Aquaman.

The move means that the movie will come out just in time for Christmas of 2018, a period that is generally considered to be one of the most lucrative for movie box offices’. While this will definitely be a boon to studio executives, it will undoubtedly be a source of consternation to Aquaman fans as they will have to wait another two months before seeing the Atlantean monarch.

Apparently, the change in release date was motivated by James Cameron‘s recent statement that Avatar 2, which was originally slated for the December release slot, would not be completed in time, giving Warner Bros. a chance to move the film’s release back.

Per Deadline, the source of this story:

Avatar 2 originally was set for a December 2014 bow, but its release date has shifted at least three times. “What people have to understand is that this is a cadence of releases,” Cameron told the Toronto Star last week. “So, we’re not making Avatar 2, we’re making Avatar 2, 3, 4 and 5.”

Meanwhile, Warner Bros today also set dates for a pair of other pics. The Ed Helms-Owen Wilson R-rated road comedy Bastards, from Alcon Entertainment, will bow this Christmas frame on December 22, a week after The Last Jedi.

**** We hired Reggie, fulfilled our obligations to him, and he quit in the middle of covering two TV series w/ no notice and no explanation. He then ignored our emails asking him to complete his coverage (we had no one else to cover those TV shows). He didn't care. We regret hiring him and we regret putting our trust in him. **** An aspiring writer, longtime film junkie, and former UCLARadio.com disc jockey (where I graduated with a BA in Political Science), I've made the jump from penning book reviews and current events editorials for HonorSociety.org to writing movie and TV news and reviews. When I'm not working towards my certificate in Radio and Television/Video Production at Fullerton College, I enjoy reading (horror, science fiction, and historical/political nonfiction are particular favorites), participating in my school's TV and theatre clubs, attending movie screenings, plays, concerts, and other events, and trying to come up with pithy things to say on social media. Believe it or not, there are occasions where I find time to write for my own leisure.
