Warner Bros. Discovery haven’t just been shaking up shows on television, they’re also shuffling around their film release dates. Both Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom and Shazam!: Fury of the Gods have been pushed back.

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom has been moved in an interesting switch of dates. The film was to open March 17, 2023 and will now currently open on December 25, 2023. The Christmas date is a pretty big one as it’s prime family movie going season.

The film is a follow to the original which grossed $1.149 billion in 2018. Jason Mamoa returns in the title role as well as Patrick Wilson’s Orm and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II’s Black Manta. Rumors have circulated that Ben Affleck would also return as Batman in the film.

Shazam!: Fury of the Gods was supposed to come out during December of this year and instead will take Aquaman’s old date, March 17, 2023.

The original Shazam was released in April 2019 and went on to gross a little over $366 million. The sequel adds Lucy Liu, Helen Mirren and Rachel Zegler to the cast.

The two films where a part of a handful of other movie projects whose dates were announced or changed.
