WB Reshuffles Its DC Movie Release Schedule Again
It’s that time again…the time when Warner Bros looks at its bulletin board of DC movie releases and rearranges everything. What have they changed this time?
This holiday’s big release from WB was going to be Aquaman 2. Then 20th Century announced they were picking that exact same day, December 16, to release Avatar 2. WB is getting it out of James Cameron’s way, pushing the film into a slot one year from now, March 17, 2023. However, they won’t be abandoning the entire season…Shazam 2, previously scheduled for 2023, is now coming out one week before Avatar 2 on December 12. Guess they figure it can compete. How old are those kids now?
Black Adam has been kicked from July 29 to October 21. The Flash has Speed Forced itself from Nov. 4 to June 23, 2023 (Dammit, Barry!) On the animated side of things, League of Super-Pets was due to be the next release from DC and was heavily promoted during the Olympics as coming out May 20. Not anymore! It’s now July 29, the date Black Adam used to take up. That won’t be confusing to families at all…
There are a couple of non-DC films on the schedule now: The Meg 2, the sequel to the blockbuster shark movie, is coming out Aug. 4, 2023, and a “Wonka” prequel no one asked for except WB’s investors is coming out in December of 2023.
This isn’t the first time WB has done this and it won’t be the last. Take all these new release dates with a grain of salt because WB is likely to switch them around again.

If they keep doing this, The kids from the Shazam movie will be unrecognizable after Puberty. The Actress who plays Young Mary is an adult now.

No Wonder, the Adult version of Mary, got recast because she had to accept another project to make ends meet. Grace Fulton will now also play Adult Mary because, duh, she is an adult now.
