James Wan is planning to put a little more horror in Aquaman 2
James Wan’s Aquaman was mostly a fun romp through an underwater world where everyone except for Patrick Wilson was a cool bro who liked to chill with fish, dudes, and fish-dudes, but there was one particular sequence where Aquaman and Mera had to face off against a series of grotesque creatures called The Trench that leaned into Wan’s horror roots. Warner Bros. apparently liked the scene enough that it started moving forward with an Aquaman spin-off specifically about those terrible freaks, but that doesn’t mean Wan’s Aquaman 2 is going to be all shark-riding and fist-bumping. In a video posted on Twitter as a tease for the upcoming DC FanDome, Wan noted that his sequel is still going to have some horror elements—and possibly even more horror elements.
