It will be written by David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick, who co-wrote the first film with Will Beall. James Wan and Peter Safran will be producing the film. Aquaman starred Jason Momoa as the titular superhero, who is the son of a human lighthouse keeper and an Atlantean queen. The film’s cast also included Amber Heard, Nicole Kidman, Willem Dafoe, Patrick Wilson, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, and Dolph Lundgren.

Warner Bros. is also developing another film in the Aquaman universe currently called The Trench. It is being described as a horror spinoff of the original film and focuses on the creatures in that underwater realm. Wan and Safran are also producing the said film.
