"Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom" Sets 4K UHD, Blu-ray & DVD Release Dates

"Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom", the sequel to 2018’s “Aquaman“, has received multiple at-home viewing release dates.

The DC movie will be released on digital on January 23, and on 4k UHD, Blu-ray and DVD on March 12. 

It follows Jason Momoa’s aquatic DC hero Arthur Curry, better known as the half-human, half-Atlantean hero Aquaman, now sitting on the throne of Atlantis. 

The sequel sees him team up with his half-brother Orm (Patrick Wilson) to fight the ruthless pirate Black Manta (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II).

Here’s the logline: “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 take Aquaman down once and for all. This time Black Manta is more formidable than ever before, wielding the power of the mythic 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 set aside their differences to protect their kingdom and save Aquaman’s family, and the world, from irreversible destruction.”

In addition to Momoa, Wilson and Abdul-Mateen, Nicole Kidman, Temuera Morrison, Willem Dafoe, Amber Heard, and Dolph Lundgren will also reprise their roles from the original movie, with Randall Park appearing as Dr. Stephen Shin after making a cameo in the first movie. 

Vincent Regan, Indya Moore, and Pilou Asbæk also join the cast. James Wan returns to helm the sequel, with David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick penning the script.

The “Aquaman” sequel debut on December 22, 2023.

At the box office, despite receiving mixed reviews and facing well-known challenges during its production and release, "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom" has managed to stay afloat for over three weeks. 

This weekend past (January 12-15), the film earned approximately $5.2 million domestically, marking its first exit from the top five since debuting. 

Boosted by a robust opening in Japan, the sequel's international earnings have surpassed $265 million, contributing to a global total of $373.7 million.
