Aquaman 2 Officially In Development, James Wan Waiting for Great Script

Attachment 20816

Aquaman 2 is officially in development at Warner Bros. and DC Films, but Aquaman director James Wan reportedly won't sign on to return until he sees a great script. The latest DC Comics cinematic universe - unofficially called the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) - movie was Wan's aquatic adventure following Jason Momoa's Arthur Curry. Though the superhero was first introduced in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice and returned for Justice League, Aquaman was the character's true origin story. By the end of the film, Arthur had become the King of Atlantis and donned the classic Aquaman comic book costume, complete with King Atlan's Trident.

Reviews of Aquaman have been relatively mixed-to-positive; it was by no means as ravaged by critics as Batman V Superman or Suicide Squad in 2016. Further, Aquaman became the first DCEU movie to earn $1 billion at the global box office, making it a resounding success for Warner Bros. and DC Films. As such, it should come as no surprise that Warner Bros. has already been discussing Aquaman 2. Now, a new update on the sequel is revealed.

Deadline is reporting that an Aquaman sequel is officially in development at Warner Bros. and DC Films. As for Wan, the director's representatives say he is taking a break after all the work he put into the first film, but sources tell Deadline the helmer won't sign on to return for Aquaman 2 unless he sees a good script.
