The last movie in the DC Extended Universe series, Aquaman’s Fallen Kingdom, is likely to becreateThe weekend box office performance was worse than “Marvel’s worst”. Although the previous film “Aquaman” successfully generated a global box office of 1.1 billion US dollars and became the most successful DC movie, “Aquaman 2” It seems impossible to continue this performance.
According to “Deadline”, the box office forecast for “Aquaman: Fallen Kingdom” during the four-day Christmas holiday is currently only about $40 million. If the forecast is accurate, “Aquaman: Fallen Kingdom” will have the highest box office performance in Marvel history. The bad film “Captain Marvel 2” was even worse, opening with $46 million over the weekend.
This is definitely a pretty tragic ending for the last work in the DC Extended Universe, becoming another superhero movie that crashed the box office in 2023.
The poor box office forecast currently facing “Aquaman: Fallen Kingdom” once again shows the problems DC is currently facing. Just after James Gunn and Peter Saffron revealed plans for the new DC Universe to fans, many fans gradually lost interest in the last few movies of the DC Extended Universe, resulting in “Shazam 2″, ” DC movies released in 2023 such as “Blue Beetle” and “The Flash” have both faced tragic box office results.
In addition to the end of the DC Extended Universe, all the actors who participated in the 2017 version of “Justice League” will not reprise their roles in the upcoming new version of the DC Universe, including starring “Aquaman” Jason Momoa of the series.
As the DC Universe is about to face a complete reboot, the developments brought about in “Aquaman’s Fallen Kingdom” seem to be no longer important, causing the audience to lose expectations for the film. Jason Momoa recently said that the box office performance of the sequel will determine whether he returns to play Aquaman in the new DC Universe, but it seems that may not happen at this time.
Even so, Jason Momoa has expressed interest in playing “Lobo” many times, and James Gunn has also hinted that this character is about to appear. He has often been on social media before There are hints of characters that will appear in the new DC universe, so the chances of Jason Momoa participating in the show are indeed not low.
According to a report from Variety, Jason Momoa is currently in talks to play Rob the Wolf in Superman: Legacy or other DC Universe movies.
Considering the controversial nature of the DC Extended Universe itself, the upcoming reboot, and the fact that Jason Momoa himself seems ready to put down the character, it seems likely that Aquaman: Fallen Kingdom will repeat the box office success of its debut. It’s quite difficult.
