Barring a last-minute delay (which is still a possibility given the ongoing Hollywood strikes), Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom will swim into theatres as scheduled on December 20, and James Wan's DC Comics sequel has now set a rather frustrating record for the DCEU.
Though a brief promo was screened for those in attendance during Warner Bros.' presentation at CinemaCon earlier this year, we've yet to see so much as a frame of officially-released footage from the movie, let alone a first teaser.
With Aquaman 2 set to arrive 112 days from now, it's set a new record for the shortest window between the release of a film's first trailer and its theatrical debut.
The previous record holder was The Flash, which released its first trailer on February 12, 124 days before the Scarlet Speedster's divisive solo debut raced onto the big screen on June 16.
A recent rumor indicated that WB/DC Studios are planning to screen the Aquaman teaser during New York Comic-Con in October, but that's yet to be confirmed.
A (very) late trailer shouldn't necessarily be cause for concern, but we have heard that The Lost Kingdom is a bit of a mess (it's actually been described as an unmitigated disaster), so it's entirely possible the studio is still attempting to figure out the best way to market it.
In Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, when an ancient power is unleashed, Aquaman must forge an uneasy alliance with an unlikely ally to protect Atlantis, and the world, from irreversible devastation.
The movie stars Jason Momoa (Aquaman), Nicole Kidman (Atlanna), Patrick Wilson (Orm), Amber Heard (Mera), Yahya Adbdul-Mateen II (Black Manta), and Dolph Lundgren (King Nereus), along with newcomers in the form of Pilou Asbæk, Vincent Regan, and Indya Moore.
