Join us as we delve into the turbulent journey of "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom," a film that could have soared but was marred by the demise of the DC Extended Universe (DCEU).

Unravel the behindthescenes chaos that plagued this sequel, from multiple rewrites and reshoots to being neglected by Warner Bros. and DC due to the impending reboot helmed by James Gunn's DC Universe or James Gunn's DCU. What should have been James Wan's celebratory sendoff for the DCEU transformed into a victim of studio indifference.
