BLUE BEETLE Completes Two Days of Reshoots While AQUAMAN 2 Finalizes Its Third Round of Reshoot Days

Since James Gunn and Peter Safran took over at DC, they’ve had to do quite a bit of housekeeping in the form of post-production and getting the upcoming films in shape to be released. One of the movies they have put a few finished touches on was the upcoming Blue Beetle, starring Xolo Maridueña as Jaime Reyes, the titular superhero. THR reports that production on the film asked for and received two days of additional shooting, and now it’s ready to go.

Meanwhile, Jason Momoa’s sequel Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is on its third round of reshoots. This is pretty unprecedented, but after two previous rounds of screenings and reshoots that didn’t go well, Gunn is said to have weighed in on the most recent cut, and the leadership approved a five-day shoot. Sources say the shoot went so well that Wan and company completed what they needed in only four.

And to some, the fact that Warners is willing to keep spending money to make the film better shows that the studio has faith in its success. I guess we will just have to wait and see how it all turns out.

Blue Beetle will be released in theatres on August 18, 2023, and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom hits theatres on December 20, 2023.
