Nevertheless, between the talented cast assembled and much of the story taking place underwater, a realm that hasn’t been deeply (pun intended) explored in other superhero movies, Aquaman sounds like it will be a unique blockbuster.
And with James Wan overseeing the movie, fingers crossed that he does justice to a character who’s been an important player in the DC Comics landscape for decades.
Along with passing along the praise from the above DC brass, EW reported that Aquaman is said to be “visually more punchy and with more humor” compared some of the Zack Snyder-directed DCEU movies.
It’s worth remembering that because these people work for DC/Warner Bros, it’s doubtful you’d hear them outright criticizing Aquaman ahead of time, as they don’t want to steer moviegoers away from checking it out this winter.
