Aquaman

DC Comics and Warner Bros is going through a bit of a rough patch with their movies. And they’ve basically taken all of 2018 off in terms of their live-action showings…except for one film. Aquaman. The film is being made by James Wan, and despite being basically 7 months away, we’re only now getting glimpses of the film. Pictures were shown off by Entertainment Weekly recently, but the question of the trailer still fills fans minds. Previously, Wan noted that the reason the trailer was taking so long was because of the effects, but now, we have a release date. On Wan’s Twitter feed, he revealed that the first trailer for Aquaman will arrive at San Diego Comic-Con. It’s an appropriate location for the trailer, after all, many eyes are going to be on the WB/DC film slate there, as many are hoping for clarification on what’s coming, what’s not, and when.

His comic was written by Geoff Johns himself (who helps run the film division for the DC Comics movies), and was drawn by Ivan Reis. It reflects the original outfit for the character, but also adds some armor

One of the things that are certain in comic book movies are that there will be a lot of characters that are actually from the comics. But, depending on the character, there are almost too many characters to put into the film at once, so, they’re at times spread out. Or, in some cases, they’re scrunched into the film, often times with mixed quality. The upcoming Aquaman film certainly has a lot of comic book accurate characters in it, but a rumor was going around that the film would feature three villains. Upon hearing this in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, director James Wan immediately dismissed it as false: “This is what I’ll say: I don’t have three villains,” Wan said. “I think that’s ridiculous! I would never go into an origin movie with three villains. We don’t even know the main character let alone the world and its antagonist. I believe in taking baby steps.” Furthermore, he noted that the true antagonist was one man, and his name is
