Warner Bros. Fixes DCU Order: Black Adam + Aquaman 2 + The Flash Pushed Back!
Everything has changed!
The Batman has proved the the DCU can survive since the movie was a block busting hit with Robert Pattinson, Zoe Kravitz, and Collin Farrell. So what’s up with Warner Bros.? Warner Bros. is doing some fixes changing up the DCU order in a more chronological way…
CelebnMovies247.com has learned that Warner Bros. has announced that upcoming titles “Aquaman 2,” “The Flash,” “Black Adam,” and “Super-Pets” will have delayed release dates.
Now that Brad Pitt’s movie “Bullet Train” has taken Black Adams spot, Warner Bors. changes are making sense to fix the DCU so its more chronological like the MCU.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s “Black Adam” is being delayed until October 21, 2022, pushed back from its initial premiere date of July 29. In a surprising move, Johnson announced the news himself in an Instagram video, adding that the film will play through Thanksgiving and Christmas.

DC titles “Aquaman 2” and “The Flash” are both pushed to 2023, with the “Aquaman” sequel set for a March 17, 2023, release date (from December 16, 2022), followed by Miller’s “The Flash” on June 23, 2023 (from November 4, 2022).
DC title “Shazam! Fury of the Gods” is the only Warner Bros. title in the announcement to get an earlier release date, moving from mid-2023 to December 16, 2022.
It appear the DCU is lining up their movies in a more chronological way like the MCU since “Shazam! Fury of the Gods” got pushed up and will follow Black Adam.
CeebnMovies247.com previously reported that Black Adam will be in “Shazam! 3″ so this might be the lead in for a post credit scene with Black Adam at the end of “Shazam! Fury of the Gods.”
Then, “Aquaman 2” and “The Flash” which puts things in order for the next Wonder Woman movie, and Batman. Putting the DCU in a chronology order like the MCU may help the DC Universe and forward momentum for world-building.
Meanwhile, audiences will also have to be patient to peer into Timothée Chalamet’s take on Willy Wonka with “Wonka,” now releasing on December 15, 2023. The film was originally set to bow March 17, 2023, but will now get a family-friendly (and perhaps Oscar-friendly) release.
Warner Bros. announced in March 2021 that the 2022 release date calendar would return to a more traditional theatrical release model with a new 45-day window. The production company previously opted for an HBO Max hybrid release model during the COVID-19 pandemic. Unlike Warner Bros.’ 2021 day-and-date films, “The Batman,” for example, won’t bow on WarnerMedia’s HBO Max until April 19 — 45 days after its March 4 release date.
