      They were both scheduled to release in 2022, but Aquaman would have competed with Avatar: The Way of Water, and Blue Beetle was originally a direct-to-streaming movie before they decided to put it in theaters.

        From what I can see, the real underwater stuff in WoW is way better than the “underwater” shots in Aquaman.

          Which is exactly why they didn’t release it in 2022 - Avatar was just so much more technologically advanced thay the VFX for Aquaman would pale in comparison.

          And also they would be conpeting against the sequel to the highest-grossing film of all time.

        Gunn had no input on it, he does consider BB the first character of the new continuity, but Supes will be the first film.
