A sizzle reel in February showed off new footage from The Flash and Aquaman 2, providing a first glimpse of some of the newest characters hitting the big screen.
The new footage from The Flash sees the character asked why he's fighting to save this timeline and universe if he could be anywhere, at any time. The Flash is set to star two Flashes, with Ezra Miller appearing to play alternate reality versions of the character after his debut in the Justice League movies.
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom will see Jason Momoa return as the title character and star alongside Nicole Kidman, Amber Heard, Patrick Wilson and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II.
Also delayed by Warner Bros. on Wednesday are DC League of Super-Pets, which moves from May 20 to July 29, 2022; and Wonka, which moves from March 17, 2023, to Dec. 15, 2023. One film is actually coming closer than expected: Shazam: Fury of the Gods moves up from summer 2023 to Dec. 16, 2022.
