The highly anticipated superhero sequel, “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,” is making a splash with an exciting Max streaming release date of Feb. 27. This means fans can watch it at home just two months after its theatrical debut over the Christmas holiday.
Starring Jason Momoa, Amber Heard, Patrick Wilson, Nicole Kidman, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Randall Park and Dolph Lundgren, the film follows Aquaman as he faces off against Black Manta, teaming up with his half-brother Orm to save their underwater world from destruction.
Although the sequel didn’t perform as well as its predecessor at the box office, grossing $123 million domestically and $433 million worldwide, critics have offered mixed reviews. While the combat scenes are impressive and grand, some say there’s a sense of standardization and a lack of novelty in the superhero genre.
Directed by James Wan and produced by Peter Safran and Rob Cowan, “Aquaman 2” has generated mixed reviews, with some critics suggesting a sense of fatigue with the superhero genre. Nonetheless, the film promises to be an exciting addition to the DC Extended Universe, and fans are eagerly awaiting its release on Max streaming.
