Aquaman blev en stor succes for både DC og Warner, og dette gjorde at der ikke var så meget debat om hvorvidt Jason Momoa skulle vende tilbage i en direkte efterfølger med instruktør James Wan ved roret endnu en gang. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom hedder den, og den er åbenbart blevet filmet på en lidt anderledes måde.
I et interview med CinemaBlend fortæller instruktør James Wan, at de denne gang har brugt anderledes teknologi, der har gjort optagelserne "mindre smertefulde" end under optagelserne på den originale Aquaman:
"On the first movie, we really put the actors through a lot of physical pain, you know hanging them on wires and what we call tuning forks. It was not the most comfortable apparatus to be strapped into. With this film we were able to now embrace new technology where we literally captured...literally putting like 100 cameras on the actors, capturing their performances and then taking what they do and then applying that to 3D version of themselves.
It's less painful for the actors, which makes it easier for me as well, because they're not screaming and yelling at me... but the most important thing is it really frees up the filmmaking to really do things I've never been able to do before. And that is exciting."
Filmen får premiere i marts 2023.
