DC’s next big project is on its way as it will be out within 6 months from now. Being in a very difficult position, this movie has to do really well in all aspects. Till now, the movies that DC has put out have been good at the Box Office but totally failed to impress the critics except for Wonder Woman. Even Man of Steel performed well from the critics’ point of view. But DC is not in clear waters and they desperately need a win with the upcoming Aquaman. The movie is going to be huge as it two of the biggest villains of Aquaman’s mythology with Orm and Black Manta.
The upcoming slate of DC movies is not very clear as only 3 movies have confirmed release dates. for Aquaman is set to come out on December 21, 2018, Shazam!, coming out on April 5, 2019, Wonder Woman 2, coming out on November 1, 2019, rest the latest updates suggest that Suicide Squad 2 will be out in 2020 along with Flashpoint.
Rest all the movies that are currently “under development” are Man of Steel 2, Joker vs. Harley Quinn, The Batman (said to begin production next year), Black Adam (script is in & production begins next year), Lobo, Justice League Dark, Joker Spin-off, Nightwing, Birds of Prey, Joker Origins, Harley Quinn Spin-off, New Gods, Deathstroke, Cyborg and Green Lantern Corps but none of them have any sort of release dates confirmed just yet.
The big Cinema fest, CineEurope which is going on in Barcelona has been revealing quite a lot about the upcoming movies as the big studios of Hollywood have presented material for the upcoming movies in their panels. WB’s panel presented DC’s upcoming movie Aquaman, and the fans got to see the most awaited first trailer of the movie.

A Russian Website, KinoMetro.ru posted their reaction as the wrote a brief narrative that gives us an idea about how Aquaman is going to be when it comes out. Here’s what how they described the trailer:
