Aquaman 2 Wasn’t Affected ‘Too Much’ by The Flash’s DCU Reset
Aquaman 2 has not been affected very much by the events of The Flash.
On June 16, the newest DC superhero movie, The Flash, arrives in theaters. This is a time travel film that is set to disrupt the events of the DC Extended Universe, with Michael Shannon’s Zod coming back to life after his death in 2013’s Man of Steel.

Aquaman 2 is set to release on December 20, 2023, by Warner Bros. Pictures.

The film was previously set to be released on December 16, 2022, before it was moved to March 17, 2023, then to December 25, 2023, before taking its
