Jason Momoa returns as the beloved Atlantean in the sequel to the 2018 film, Aquaman. As of writing, the DC film, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is still currently under production and therefore an official trailer is yet to be released. We were however given a behind-the-scenes look into the production of the film during the DC Fandome 2021 event. Fans were given glimpses of the amazing action sequences and out-of-this-world set pieces.
In addition to Momoa, James Wan returns to the director’s chair alongside returning actors such as Amber Heard as Mera, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Black Manta, and Patrick Wilson as Orm. Director James Wan aims to deliver an immersive experience as he takes on the daunting task to translate and reinvent the epic and colorful worlds of Aquaman in all its grandeur and glory.
What We Can Expect From The Aquaman Sequel
The short behind-the-scenes clip showcased the deep and rich new worlds that the Aquaman sequel would take us. From the freezing Arctic oceans to ancient tombs and jungles, the sequel continues to take us on a fantastic adventure journey but on an even bigger scaled experience from its predecessor. The set pieces and concept art for the film truly depict a film that has been elevated to greater heights for fans to enjoy. The behind of the scenes looks also boasted the returning cast members who look even better than before as the story looks to provide deeper character development for all our favorite heroes and villains.
James Wan stated that the Aquaman sequel is a more “mature offering (compared to its predecessor) while still retaining its fun to give audiences something different and something that they haven’t seen before”. Wan also stated that the sequel once again centers on the villain, Black Manta whose hunger and thirst for revenge against Aquaman is bigger than before.
The success behind the first Aquaman film can be attributed to the entire cast’s efforts and seamless chemistry, the top-notch visual and cinematic experience, and the visionary direction of Wan which we will all once again receive for this sequel. As mentioned, DC has just given us a sneak peek into the production stage but it was surely enough to entice and build the hype up for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom release in December 2022. We are definitely excited for this one and tune into This is Hype Ph as we cover more updates on the film such as the eventual release of the official trailer when they finally do arrive.
