Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, Dune: Part Two, and The Color Purple may face further delays due to ongoing behind-the-scenes issues. Warner Bros. is contemplating postponing the release of these films as a result of the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA strikes. The strikes, starting in May for the WGA and July for SAG-AFTRA, have put a halt on most of Hollywood's productions. Failed negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers have prompted the strikes, affecting not only Warner Bros. but also all other major studios.
The ongoing strikes may cause a possible postponement of three of Warner Bros.'s upcoming films in 2023, according to Variety. The studio is contemplating rescheduling Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, Dune: Part Two, and The Color Purple to 2024. This decision follows recent reports concerning various behind-the-scenes difficulties with Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. As of now, neither Warner Bros. Discovery nor Legendary Entertainment, the co-producer of Dune: Part Two, has provided any comment on this report.
