'Aquaman' release pushed to Christmas 2018

Comic book blockbuster "Aquaman" has been pushed back two months and will now hit US cinemas days before Christmas, 2018.

Jason Momoa's much-anticipated movie was scheduled to open on October 5, 2018, but now it will get a holiday release thanks to "Avatar 2", reported Deadline.

Director James Cameron recently confirmed his sequel won't be ready by the end of 2018, so "Aquaman" will take its place in the release schedule.

Momoa will make his official debut as Aquaman in the upcoming "Justice League" movie, which will hit theatres in November.
