Warner Bros. recently revealed the new release dates of its upcoming films. The release schedule had been shuffled for the third time due to the pandemic. This time a few major films in 2022 have been moved to 2023 while others have been pushed for a Christmas release, including Black Adam, The Flash, Aquaman 2, Wonka and Shazam 2.

The delay in the first two releases has also affected other films by the studio, most of which belong to the DCEU. Black Adam is being pushed back three months to October 21, 2022, meanwhile, DC League of Super-Pets has been moved to July 29, 2022, which was Black Adam's original release date.
Jeff Goldstein, Warner Bros. president of domestic distribution, announced that Shazam! Fury of the Gods' release has been moved up a few months. Now, the Zachary Levi-starring awaited superhero sequel will release on December 12, 2022. The film was set to release on June 2, 2023.
Jeff Goldstein in a statement said, "We're thrilled to bring Shazam! Fury of the Gods to audiences as a Christmas gift this year. Families of all ages will really enjoy it."
