James Wan wants to have fun with Aquaman, and not just at the hero’s expense
Ever since James Wan stepped in to shoulder some of the Justice League world-building for Zack Snyder (who’s currently busy re-reading The Fountainhead and spouting some specious logic), we’ve wondered how the Furious 7 and The Conjuring director would imbue an Aquaman movie with the gravitas that’s part and parcel of the the story of the underwater Doctor Dolittle who’s easily DC Comics’ most respected superhero. (Did we say “respected”? We meant “risible.”) Well, Wan recently met the speculation head-on at WonderCon, telling IGN about his intention to have fun with Aquaman—and not just at the hero’s expense, for a change.
