The whole WB lineup got moved due to COVID-19
that includes Matrix and Dune
The Batman, Shazam 2, Black Adam, Matrix 4 All Move In Release Date Shake-Up | Den of Geek
Following the news on Monday that Warner Bros. Pictures was shifting the release of its sci-fi epic Dune from December 18 of this year to October 1, 2021, Deadline reports that the studio has now massively reshuffled even more of its planned tentpole films for the next two years.
Not surprisingly, Matt Reeves’ The Batman is moving off that October 1, 2021 date in the wake of Dune’s shift and will now open on March 4, 2022. That spot was originally held by Warner Bros. for a proposed film based on the venerable video game Minecraft, which no longer has a release date.
To give The Batman some breathing room, The Matrix 4 now moves up from April 1, 2022 to December 22, 2021. The earlier arrival for that new entry in the Keanu Reeves action/sci-fi franchise is likely due to the fact that it got more of its shooting done before the coronavirus pandemic shut down much of the world’s movie production — including The Batman, which restarted principal photography last month but had to shut down again when star Robert Pattinson came down with COVID-19.
The Caped Crusader is not the only DC superhero whose next big screen adventure is being pushed even further into the future by Warner Bros. The Flash, starring Ezra Miller and directed by Andy Muschietti (It: Chapter One and Chapter Two), has now sped from June 3, 2022 to November 4, 2022, while Shazam! Fury of the Gods thunders out of the November 4 berth and lands on June 2, 2023.
The Flash, as of right now, is going up against Mission: Impossible 8 and an untitled Disney event movie on the same date, so it’s likely that someone will blink and one of those will move.
Finally, Dwayne Johnson’s debut in the title role as Shazam nemesis and major DC antihero Black Adam is exiting its December 22, 2021 slot and will remain undated for now. Johnson is currently shooting Red Notice for Netflix and production on Black Adam isn’t slated to begin until early next year, which sort of explains that delay. Johnson did a major promotional push for the film at last month’s DC FanDome, revealing that the movie would feature the big screen debut of the Justice Society.
Meanwhile, Wonder Woman 1984 is keeping herself firmly planted at Christmas 2020…for now. But that could well change given the continuing problem of the pandemic and the news that Cineworld was closing down its US and UK theater chains for the foreseeable future due to the lack of business and major new motion pictures.

That matrix film can go straight in the trash, who the fukk even wanted that especially with the two tranny's involved.
Now we have to wait maybe 2023 if ever for Black Adam.

Thank Trump for that.
People really need to start embracing that none of these big budget flicks will come out in 2021. Expert scientific opinion on a COVID vaccine is saying the earliest would be late Summer-early Fall 2021 and then you have to wait until everyone in the country has taken it to start seeing if it is effective which would probably take until the end of 2021.
All these movies are going to be pushed to 2022.

I see you niccas...
I'm curious to see what happens with movies already in the can like WW84 and BW. Think the studios eventually cave and do digital releases.

I'll believe it when a reputable source reports it but if it is true I'm not mad at it.
I like Sarah Shahi and she looks like the comic book version of the character.
