The idea for an Aquaman sequel was initially pitched by Momoa during the production of the first film. While James Wan was cautious not to rush the project, he eventually agreed to oversee its development in January 2019. Shortly after, Johnson-McGoldrick signed on to return as the screenwriter. In August 2020, Wan’s return as the director was officially confirmed. He expressed his intent to delve deeper into the world of Aquaman, promising an expansion of the character’s universe. The film’s title was unveiled in June 2021, and production commenced later that month, concluding in January 2022. Filming locations spanned across the United Kingdom, Hawaii, Los Angeles, New Jersey, and included additional scenes shot in New Zealand.
Mark your calendars, as “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” is slated for a highly anticipated release in the United States on December 20, 2023.
