We’ve known for a while now that James Wan was likely to direct a second Aquaman film—that’s sort of just what happens when you become the first movie in your overall franchise to break that big, shiny, billion-dollar box office mark. But while there have been a few notable diversions along the way—including the woefully misguided CGI monster movie spin-off concept The Trench, which we will never stop making fun of everyone involved for floating—details about the Aquaman follow-up film have been pretty scant. Until now, that is, as Wan has revealed the title for the film on his Instagram account this evening. Buckle up, fish fans: Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom is set to swim into theaters on December 16, 2022.
