The first footage for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom was shown at DC FanDome 2021 on Saturday.
The Aquaman 2 segment was led by a behind-the-scenes sizzle reel that re-introduced fans to the stars of the upcoming film including Jason Momoa’s return as Aquaman and Yahya Abdul-Mateen 2’s return as Black Manta. Momoa says the stakes are much higher for the sequel.
While there was no footage from the film itself, director James Wan says the tone for the sequel is “more mature” than the first movie. There were some production stills that show off some freaky creatures like giant grasshoppers and some undersea oddities.
Director James Wan announced the title for Aquaman 2 this past summer, along with saying the second installment will have a little more horror aspects and Wan’s “scary sauce” compared to the first movie.
“I think it’s something that’s a big part of who I am, and it just naturally comes out in these kinds of films,” Wan previously said. “And especially a movie like Aquaman, where the story takes place in these underwater worlds that can be very scary.”
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom will also have inspiration from the Silver Age Black Manta comics, as writer David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick confirmed in March 2020.
