Aquaman and the lost kingdom is officially scheduled to make a streaming splash at the end of February.
According to a press release from Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD), the latest film in the recently defunct DC Extended Universe (DCEU) will make its real streaming debut on Max on Tuesday, February 27. Since the successor to HBO Max is only available in the US, however, it is unclear when AquamanThe second big-screen adventure will premiere on a non-premium video-on-demand (PVOD) service in the UK or Australia.

Aquaman 2Max's imminent launch comes almost two weeks after it debuted on digital stores in the UK. The DC film became available to rent and buy via Amazon Prime, Google Play, Apple TV and Vudu on British shores on February 7. It was previously available to rent or buy in the United States on January 23, and that online release will be coming soon. more than a month after hitting theaters around the world.
In our Aquaman 2 article from digital stores, we suggest that Aquaman and the lost kingdom would eventually land on Max, aka one of the best streaming services in the world, in March, so WBD's announcement proved us a little wrong on that prediction.
Considering the latest DCEU movie generated a small profit for WBD (in doing so, it also bucked the studio's recent trend of failing at the superhero movie box office) and with attention focused on the DC Cinematic Universe (DCU) James Gunn's reboot, is on WBD's list. best interests to finally release Aquaman 2 on its super-streamer service. However, given its incredibly poor 34% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, you shouldn't expect Aquaman and the lost kingdom to find a place on our list of the best Max movies.
When and where will Aquaman 2 be broadcast in the UK and Australia?
That's hard to predict. Given that WBD has licensing agreements with Sky (UK) and Foxtel (Australia), the smart money would be on Aquaman and the lost kingdom breaking the wave of these services.
However, due to a recent partnership between WBD and Netflix, 2018 Aquaman – and several other DCEU films – are also available to stream on Netflix in Australia. Certain DCEU films can also be watched on Netflix in the UK, such as The suicide squad and Wonder Woman 1984. AquamanHowever, he is not among that contingent on British shores; in fact, it is only available to rent or buy in the same digital stores as its sequel.
If you are a resident of the United Kingdom or Australia and have been waiting Aquaman 2 To access a streaming service that you already pay for, then the wait can be long. As mentioned, it recently became available in digital stores in the UK (it can also be rented or purchased in Australia, according to justwatch.com), so WBD will want to make as much cash as possible from digital sales before establishing a official streaming launch date for these island nations. Essentially, do not hold your breath during The lost kingdomThe arrival of Netflix in the short term.
