Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom OTT Release Date: Jason Momoa’s action-adventure is unexpectedly out early

New Delhi: It seems like the digital release of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom will be happening sooner than anticipated. Speculation has it that on January 23, 2024, the digital and video-on-demand versions of Aquaman will finally be available.

One of the most divisive films ever made was Aquaman 2, which premiered on December 22, 2023. Despite the lack of an immediate plot, it has been the subject of numerous controversies since its announcement and throughout production. The film has now established the streaming date on OTT as it nears the end of its month in cinemas.

The film concludes the Aquaman narrative, which Jason Momoa began in the first film, and is the fifteenth instalment in the DC Extended Universe.

Storyline

Black Manta unleashes an ancient and evil force by wielding the power of the legendary Black Trident after failing to vanquish Aquaman the first time. In a surprising partnership with his brother, the former king of Atlantis, Orm, Aquaman seeks to put an end to his terrifying rule. For the sake of their kingdom and the planet’s survival, they put aside their disagreements and band together.

When and Where to Watch?

The film is reportedly set to premiere on January 23, 2024, on HBO Max, the streaming service. Also, beginning at noon, January 23, YouTube will make Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom accessible for purchase on many internet platforms.

Like the studio’s previous pattern of releasing DC pictures to digital platforms, this 31-day shift from theatrical release to online access is amazing.

Dolph Lundgren says the final cut of ‘AQUAMAN & THE LOST KINGDOM’ is different to James Wan’s vision for the film.

“I was just disappointed for the moviegoers, because I thought the original script was great and the original cut.”

Other Details

Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom, directed by James Wan, continues Arthur Curry’s narrative and introduces a more formidable Black Manta. Since Arthur was legally responsible for the death of Aquaman’s father, he has returned to destroy everything that matters to the hero. In addition to an ensemble cast, the film features Jason Momoa, Amber Heard, Nicole Kidman, Yahya Abdul-Mateen ll, and Patrick Wilson.

Even worse than the weakest Marvel Cinematic Universe film, the film’s opening statistics were rather concerning. However, it quickly gained enough pace to surpass its budget and avoid further scrutiny. There was a $109.8 million domestic haul and a $268.4 million international haul, bringing the total box office collection for the film to $378.2 million.
