Aquaman 2 (?)

Warner Bros. has taken a definitive step toward an Aquaman sequel, hiring David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick to write the script.

Aquaman 2 will be produced by Aquaman director James Wan and Peter Safran. Aquaman has over-performed for Warner Bros., coming in above pre-release projections after starting with $68.7 million in its opening weekend in North America. The title gained momentum in subsequent weeks and has hit $328 million in North America and $784 million internationally, led by nearly $300 million in China. It’s currently the 21st-highest worldwide grosser of all time.

Johnson-McGoldrick teamed with Will Beall on the Aquaman script. Aquaman stars Jason Momoa as the title character, with Amber Heard, Willem Dafoe, Patrick Wilson, Dolph Lundgren, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, and Nicole Kidman in supporting roles.

Johnson-McGoldrick and Beall wrote the Aquaman script from a story by Beall, Geoff Johns, and Wan, who also directed both “Conjuring” movies. Johnson-McGoldrick began working on the script three years ago after reading Aquaman comic books while on the set of The Conjuring 2.

Warner Bros. also announced last week that it was developing The Trench as a spinoff horror movie to Aquaman. Wan and Safran will produce “The Trench,” which is being developed as a lower-cost version of Aquaman without the main cast involved. No director or cast is yet attached.

Thanks for starting a thread for this movie, Eadie!

Since there's no poster for this movie yet, I placed the picture from the Variety article at the link you posted at the top, because it is so beautiful (after I dialed the color up a bit).

Warner Bros. has set Dec. 16, 2022, as the release date for its Aquaman sequel - and a horror spin-off.

The studio took the first step toward Aquaman 2 earlier this month by bringing back David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick to write the script.

Aquaman 2 will be produced by Aquaman director James Wan and Peter Safran. Aquaman has over-performed for Warner Bros., coming in above pre-release projections after launching with $68.7 million in its opening weekend in North America. The title gained momentum in subsequent weeks and has hit $330 million in North America and $805 million internationally, led by nearly $300 million in China. It’s currently the 20th-highest worldwide grosser of all time.

Johnson-McGoldrick teamed with Will Beall on the Aquaman script, from a story by Beall, Geoff Johns, and Wan. Johnson-McGoldrick began working on the screenplay three years ago after reading Aquaman comic books while on the set of Wan’s The Conjuring 2.

The superhero tentpole stars Jason Momoa as the title character, with Amber Heard, Willem Dafoe, Patrick Wilson, Dolph Lundgren, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, and Nicole Kidman in supporting roles.

Warner Bros. also announced three weeks ago that it was developing The Trench, a horror movie spinoff to Aquaman. Wan and Safran will produce The Trench; a director and cast aren’t currently attached.

Aquaman 2 is the first titled film to land on Dec. 16, 2022. Disney has already scheduled an untitled live-action movie for the same slot.
