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. Some have wondered if the events of this film will affect what we see in the upcoming movie Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.

However, Aquaman 2 director James Wan has confirmed that it will not have a significant impact on the film.

“I’ve had to make adjustments all along the way. The DCU has been through lots of different versions, and one of the things that was challenging about this film was keeping track of what’s going on,” Wan told The Hollywood Reporter. “Fortunately, the Aquaman universe is pretty far removed from the rest of the world. We’re going to many different underwater kingdoms that are not necessarily related to what’s happening with the other movies and characters, so we’re stand-alone in that respect. So I can just tell my story on its own without being affected too much, but at the same time, I have to be mindful of what’s been happening.”

When is Aquaman 2 coming out?
