Director James Wan has hinted that this sequel will explore more serious and relevant themes than its predecessor. While some fans may worry about losing the cheesy fun of the first film, Wan's dedication to crafting a captivating story should instill confidence.
Wan has also shared his sources of inspiration for the film, citing the 1965 Italian horror movie "Planet of the Vampires." This reference suggests a darker and more mysterious tone, in line with Wan's recent work on "Malignant." Expectations are high for a visually stunning narrative that dives deep into the DC Universe.
Furthermore, Wan has teased the lost kingdom of Atlantis, known as Necrus, a city that appears and disappears using incredible technology. This setting adds another layer of intrigue to the film.
James Wan has faced challenges in bringing "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom" to life, particularly considering the changing landscape of the DCEU. However, the movie's relatively self-contained story allows Wan to tell his tale without being overly influenced by outside factors.
