#Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom Has Wrapped Production

In October of this year, attendees at DC FanDome caught an early glimpse at “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,” including the first-look sizzle reel in which Momoa promises that the movie “tackles a lot of issues environmentally, and stakes are higher.” Director James Wan teases that this movie will be “more mature, but yet still retain its fun to give the audience something new, something they haven’t seen before.” As opposed to earlier DCEU efforts, Wan’s hero picture is unashamed to lean into its rich, phantasmic world and all of the palettes and energy such a realm offers.

Plot details are still under wraps, but we do know that the sequel will expand upon the extensive Atlantean worldbuilding of the first movie. In September, fans also got images of the new suit for Momoa’s Aquaman with a dark blue color, no gloves, and alternate armor patterns. Momoa reprises his starring role in the upcoming film alongside returning players Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Amber Heard, Patrick Wilson, Dolph Lundgren, and Temuera Morrison. The film will release next year, in between “The Flash” and “Shazam! Fury of the Gods” on the DC slate.

“Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” is scheduled for theatrical release on December 16, 2022.
