Warner Bros. pushes back Black Adam, Flash, and Aquaman 2

In theory, Warner Bros. Pictures should be basking in the spotlight of The Batman‘s impressive opening weekend, secure in the knowledge that three other big DC films are coming this year. However, those plans received a major shake-up today, as two of this year’s marquee superhero films have been pushed all the way back into next year.

Via Variety, The Flash movie, which was previously slated to race into theaters on November 4, will now arrive on June 23, 2023. Meanwhile, the Aquaman sequel, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, is not set to be released on March 17, 2023, three months after its former date of December 16.

Dwayne Johnson’s long-awaited Black Adam movie was originally going to be arriving on July 29, but that movie is also getting pushed back. Johnson made the announcement himself that Black Adam will now smash its way into theaters on October 21. However, Warner Bros. will still use the July 29 launch date for Johnson’s other DC movie, the animated DC League of Super-Pets.

There is a silver lining in all of this. The Shazam! sequel, Shazam! Fury of the Gods, is actually moving up in the release schedule. While it was originally slated to arrive in mid-2023, Fury of the Gods will now premiere on December 16, 2022. Since Black Adam and Shazam both draw their power from the same mystical source, it may benefit both films to arrive close together to establish that connection.

The DC movies aren’t the only WB films with new dates on the schedule. Timothée Chalamet’s Willy Wonka prequel, Wonka, was delayed to December 15, 2023. Meg 2: The Trench will now wash up into theaters on August 4, 2023.

Aside from football, the Super Bowl is famous for its many big-budget, high-concept commercials. The advertisements that air on game day are usually comedic, extravagant videos with celebrity cameos. Other times, they're cinematic and emotional adverts that effectively connect with the audience. Sometimes, these commercials are even more entertaining than the Super Bowl itself. The 2025 Super Bowl is gearing up to unleash another wave of big advertisements. However, it's unclear if they can top these seven Super Bowl ads, which rank as some of the best from the past decade.
Michael CeraVe - CeraVe
“Michael CeraVe” I CeraVe Super Bowl (Long Form)
CeraVe effectively promoted its moisturizing cream in a commercial starring Michael Cera. The comedic actor puts himself at the center of a hilarious parody of over-the-top beauty product commercials, complete with flowery language, hunky male models, sexual undertones, and some sort of dolphin-unicorn hybrid. However, it is revealed that Cera was actually pitching this commercial to CeraVe executives, who were not that impressed. They may not have liked it, but audiences sure did.

The Fifth Element (1997)
THE FIFTH ELEMENT [1997] – Anniversary Trailer
A Bruce Willis classic, The Fifth Element was often used to demo the latest and greatest TVs in stores and at trade shows when it was released on DVD and later Blu-ray. And for good reason: it’s a stunningly visual cinematic masterpiece. The sci-fi action movie is set in the future 23rd century, where Korbon Dallas (Willis), a taxi driver, unwittingly becomes responsible for helping the Earth survive an attack. Thankfully, Dallas was also a former special forces major, so he knows a thing or two about defending against enemies and how to fight. Together, he and Leeloo (Mila Jovovich), a mysterious young woman who gets into his cab, fight the cosmic entity looking to take over the planet.
Dubbed one of those fantastic campy action movies, our writer calls The Fifth Element “camp in its purest and most unadulterated form, a guilty pleasure if ever there was one.” He lauds the “intentionally, over-the-top” stories as “completely irresistible.” Plus, who can resist a good, old-fashioned Bruce Willis action movie? Add sci-fi to the mix, and The Fifth Element is one of those movies you’ll never get tired of watching.
