With just over three months left before Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom hits theaters on December 20, the lack of any type of marketing has fueled rumors that Warner Bros. is essentially abandoning the film. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is a follow-up to Warner Bros.' 2018 smash hit Aquaman, which took in $335 million domestic and $1.14 billion worldwide. Jason Momoa returns as the title character, as does controversial actress Amber Heard as Mera.

There were rumors in July that WB may push Dune Part Two , Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom and The Color Purple into 2024, due to the ongoing writers and actors strikes, with both unions forbidding its members from promoting their work from struck companies during the work stoppage. While the studio did ultimately push Dune Part Two from its November 3, 2023 release to March 15, 2024, it hasn't pushed The Color Purple or Aquaman 2, with Twitter user @TheComixKid speculating over the weekend that WB has no marketing budget for the superhero sequel.

@TheComixKid quote-retweeted another Twitter user @WhenBatmenFly, who said, 'Aquaman 2 is coming out in 3 months and still no trailer. Why is no one panicking?' @TheComixKid repsonded, 'Because they know it’s bad, they know it’ll lose money, and they aren’t putting a marketing budget behind it at all.' It's unclear if @TheComixKid is just floating his own speculative ideas or if he's citing industry sources about the movie's marketing budget, or apparent lack thereof.

Another Twitter user, @NebsGoodTakes, shared the brief 30 seconds of footage that has been released thus far, though there still has been no publicly released trailer yet. That 30 seconds of footage was part of a teaser for Warner Bros.' then-2022 slate of DC Comics films from February 2022, when, at that time, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom was slated for December 16, 2022.

While it's still possible that Warner Bros. could shift Aquaman and he Lost Kingdom into 2024 as previously rumored - which would certainly explain the lack of marketing thus far - the studio still hasn't done that yet. If the studio is in fact planning on releasing Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom on December 20, the lack of marketing is quite surprising, since that 30-second clip is the only footage released thus far. The studio did showcase a full trailer for attendees at CinemaCon 2023 during the Warner Bros. panel in April, though that trailer still has yet to be publicly released.

Warner Bros. promoted the original Aquaman at CinemaCon 2017, before filming had even begun, showcasing a concept art sizzle reel. Filming began in May 2017, with director James Wan showcasing the first footage at San Diego Comic-Con in July 2017, while filming was still under way. The first official trailer wouldn't debut until the next year's San Diego Comic-Con in July 2018, five months before it hit theaters.

With just over three months before Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom hits theaters, the lack of any real marketing has been troublesome for many fans, it seems. It's also worth noting that Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is the final film in the previous DC Studios regime lead by Walter Hamada, with the first film under new DC Studios heads James Gunn and Peter Safran - Superman: Legacy starring David Corenswet as the new Man of Steel - set to hit theaters July 11, 2025.?Read the full story: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-12502577/Aquaman-Lost-Kingdom-rumored-abandoned-Warner-Bros-no-trailers-just-three-months-theatrical-release.html?ito=msngallery
