The promotional campaign has picked up for the upcoming Aquaman sequel as the main trailer debuts.
Following delays and additional shooting (that director James Wan has recently been trying pretty hard to characterise as ‘definitely-not-reshoots’) Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom will arrive in cinemas in December.
The film is the follow-up to the billion-dollar grossing 2018 Aquaman, which was also directed by Wan. As that December date moves closer, we now have the release of the full trailer to build anticipation for the film.
As alluded to above, the additional shooting that took place (on several occasions) has led some to question whether the film is in trouble, although Wan has stated that the constantly changing direction of the DC Universe alongside actors’ busy schedules is the main reason the film has gone back in front of cameras on multiple occasions.
At least Warner Bros boss David Zaslav has remained pretty quiet about the film so far: he and DCU head honcho James Gunn were singing the praises of The Flash at this point in the film’s promotional cycle, a tactic that it is fair to say, backfired rather spectacularly.
The film is set to release on December 20th and follows recent releases of other DC properties such as The Flash and Blue Beetle, both of which struggled to meet financial expectations. Here’s the synopsis and the trailer below:
‘Having failed to defeat Aquaman the first time, Black Manta, still driven by the need to avenge his father’s death, will stop at nothing to take Aquaman down once and for all. To defeat him, Aquaman will turn to his imprisoned brother Orm, the former King of Atlantis, to forge an unlikely alliance. Together, they must set aside their differences in order to protect their kingdom and save Aquaman’s family, and the world, from irreversible destruction.’
