10 Movie Sequels We're DYING To See In 2023

10. Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom

Release Date - March 17th

Despite suffering a lot of skepticism, Aquaman earned a billion dollars at the box office, becoming the most lucrative DC property ever, outside Batman. With all the main cast returning for the next instalment, it looked like Aquaman and Lost Kingdom would be another guaranteed hit.

But due to the Amber Heard vs Johnny Depp defamation trial, the young actress, who was set to return as Aquaman's love interest, Mera, has made Aquaman 2 a surprisingly controversial movie. Because it's impossible to disassociate Heard from the movie, it feels like Aquaman 2 is doomed.

DC Films head, Walter Hamada, affirmed that Mera was never meant to play a major role, since The Lost Kingdom is a "buddy comedy" that will focus on the marine superhero being forced to team up with his tyrannical brother, Orm.

Whether Hamada's words are true or an attempt at damage control, many people would be lying if they said they weren't eager to see how Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom turns out.
