Aquaman is not the most interesting superhero but DC is trying their hardest to make sure people enjoy this film. Picking former Game of Thrones star Jason Mamoa as well as James Wan, director of Saw, Insidious, and Furious 7, were both great moves by the studio that's struggled to keep up in the comic book game but DC might be in its best position ever. Moving towards several new films including the Wonder Woman sequel, Shazam starring Zacahry Levi, and the solo Joker film with Joaquin Pheonix, fresh faces might be exactly what audiences need to get excited about DC films again. Aquaman has also landed during the perfect holiday season due to the fact that there is hardly any competition from Marvel or Disney. Star Wars debuted the lackluster Solo at the beginning of the summer back in May, too close to Avengers 4, which definitely had an effect on it's box office run. That also means that this is the first year in the last three that we won't be seeing Star Wars at the holiday box office. Marvel is only releasing two films this year, Avengers: Infinity War as well as Ant-Man, both of which have already debuted, so we also won't have a Thanksgiving holiday Marvel film that generally trickles off into the new year. Aquaman, set to debut on December 21st, is releasing against the Bumblebee solo film, Mary Poppins, and just a week after Spiderman: Into the Spider Verse (Marvel animated Spider Man film) hits theaters on December 14th. While the month is packed, DC might survive this year on a positive not, having struggled significantly in the past few. Here's hoping Aquaman can live up to the hype! Take a look at the trailer below.
