"Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom" News and Discusion Thread (Spoilers)

[Yojimbo]

The film is apparently titled "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom."

Makes sense. Pretty sure the first movie only revealed six of seven kingdoms. Only thing that comes to mind from the comics is Thierna Na Oge but I'm not that up on all the places underwater or it could something new created for the movie.

My first thought was in the comics when they revealed at some point Atlanna was still alive and leading a secret civilization menaced by Fire Trolls...but that's probably not what this will be .

Now, that is a great title.

Funny thing is they described the first film had elements of Indiana Jones. So this kinda fits.

Amber Heard confirms she is in London and is quarantining before she starts filming.

 

[RoyalRubble]

Looks like they started filming.

An icy setting. Hmm. Antarctica? Russia? Siberia?

 

[RoyalRubble]

Momoa arrived in England for filming.

Wan talks about the idea of helming a sequel of one of his films he started:

There's a reason why I don't make three movies in the same series. It'd be lucky to get me to make a sequel. And then after that, I just get bored. I want to do something different.

I would say the thing that really got me excited to come back to it is finding a story that I think is worthy and if not better than the first movie. And also, for me, really, when I come back to a sequel, whether it was for Insidious 2 or The Conjuring 2, and now Aquaman 2 is I helped shape and create these characters that I eventually fall in love with, and I feel like I'm not done with them yet. So I feel like I owe them one more story from me.

[I wanted to] continue the next chapter of Arthur Curry's story, and Orm's story, and Mera's story, and Black Manta's story. [And screenwriter David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick found] a really cool story to bring all these characters back, and then growing them in a big way, and taking them to the next level or the next chapter of their lives.

Sounds good and keeping all the cast's stories going. I'm glad Orm will still have a role to play .

Minor but Jason Momoa dedicates the movie to an 8-year-old fan who died of cancer.

That's very kind of him .

Black Manta will have a bigger role and more of his alter ego, David Kane.

I would imagine so considering the ending of the last movie...heck, I expect him to be the main villain .

Kind of curious about them using "Kane." I guess Jackson ends up getting Hyde from his mother/adoptive family ?

Be interested if they give us Aqualad (Garth).

I'd love to see them feature the entire Aquafamily .

Wan cites Planet of the Vampires as inspiration.

I'm guessing they don't find good things in the lost kingdom .

At DC FanDome, there will be a behind the scenes look at Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.
