King of all the seas! Aquaman, a.k.a. Arthur Curry, is finally headed back to the big screen — and he’s doing it in a whole new wardrobe.
September 2021 Jason MomoaHis superhero suit received a major upgrade Aquaman 2Officially titled Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. “Second round. New suit. More action,” the Game of ThronesThe Instagram post was shared by the alum along with a photo of him in the outfit. It is a solid blue outfit with dark silver accents. (His suit in the first movie, which was green and yellow-orange in color, was the same as in the early movies. Aquaman comics.)
Arthur’s garb isn’t the only thing changing in the second movie, which is set to hit theaters in December 2022. Director James WanThe director of the original film,, also said that the tone of this sequel is darker than that of the 2018 film.
“The second one is a little bit more serious, a little more relevant to the world we’re living in today,” the ConjuringDirector spoke during a panel discussion in August 2020. “That’s where it wants to go.”
Wan mentioned another classic horror movie in an interview as one of his major inspirations. The Lost Kingdom. “Aquaman 2This is heavily inspired Planet of the Vampires,” he told Total Film in August 2021, referencing Mario Bava’s 1965 movie. “You can take the boy out of horror, but you can never take the horror out the boy.”
It may seem odd, but it is the right choice. AquamanWan is best known for his work with horror franchises, including The Conjuring, Saw Insidious. And while Arthur Curry’s Atlantis isn’t exactly spooky, it’s definitely weird — people ride sharks there, after all.
Momoa insists that the new movie has more humor than his first film, which was an unusually funny standout among the often dark world of DC Comics-inspired movies. “This time around, I feel like we’re pulling out all of the stops, buddy,” the DuneActor told FandangoSeptember 2021. “Even on the page, it’s absolutely wonderful. There is so much going. The stakes are much higher, I think. There’s a lot of comedy. I laughed so much while reading. [the script].”
