AQUAMAN AND THE LOST KINGDOM will have a small screening for fans instead of a red carpet premiere

And just like that, the DCEU has come to an end. Without the fanfare of the typical superhero movie, or any other big budget movie, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom opted for a small screening for fans in Southern California with a pre-reception. The news comes from The Hollywood journalist senior film writer Borys Kit, who said on X:

And so the DCEU ends, not with a bang but with a whimper. No red carpet premiere, no afterparty, just a small (but neat) pre-reception, a “fan screening” and just Jason Momoa and James Wan at the Grove to close out a true era…

The reception seems rather nice, but it’s a shame about the film and its star, Jason Momoa, did not receive more than a greeting. Check out photos from the event below and get ready to watch Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom in theaters this weekend.

In the film, “Having failed to defeat Aquaman the first time, Black Manta, still driven by the need to avenge his father’s death, will stop at nothing to defeat Aquaman once and for all,” the official synopsis of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. law. “This time Black Manta is more formidable than ever, as he wields the power of the mythical Black Trident, which unleashes an ancient and malevolent force. To defeat him, Aquaman will turn to his imprisoned brother Orm, the former king of Atlantis, to forge an unlikely alliance. Together, they must put aside their differences to protect their kingdom and save Aquaman’s family and the world from irreversible destruction.

Momoa joins Patrick Wilson like Orm, Amber heard like Mera, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II in the role of Black Manta, Nicole Kidman as Atlanna, Dolph Lundgren as king Nereus and Randall Park as Dr. Stephen Shin.

Warner Bros. will release the film in theaters on December 20.
