While at WonderCon 2016 this weekend, director James Wan teased some things (via SlashFilm) he is looking forward for his AQUAMAN solo movie.
“I think, like most people, we are familiar with Aquaman. We grew up reading or watching this character on the peripheral. I was never so in depth with Aquaman as, let’s say, I was with X-Men. I grew up loving X-Men, Spider-Man and Batman. Those are obviously the key big ones, but there’s always something kind of cool about Aquaman still, the idea of creating a huge world that is on our planet. That’s the thing about Aquaman that’s cool is he’s not an alien, right? He’s from our planet and he’s from a society that we’re not privy to in the context of the story. Isn’t it crazy to think that we’ve explored space more than we have explored the depths of our ocean? That just fires up my imagination about potential sea monsters and cool creatures, that kind of stuff.”
And here are a two other tidbits from Wan about AQUAMAN.
- Wan said AQUAMAN will in fact have a sense of fun to it.
- Wan thinks AQUAMAN can break people's expectation of the character since he is a character who hasn't been on the live action big screen before.
AQUAMAN releases in theaters on July 27, 2018.
