AQUAMAN Director James Wan Promises There Will Be "No Air Bubbles" In His Upcoming Underwater Adventure
Justice League gave the world their first taste of Atlantis and well, it was a bit underwhelming, but fret not, it sounds like James Wan plans on taking his Atlantis in a drastically different direction.
Justice League director Zack Snyder delivered the world's first look at the underwater world of Atlantis and unfortunately, it was just a tad underwhelming as a good chunk of what he filmed was scrapped by Joss Whedon in favor of streamlining the movie and whatever was left over from his original version didn't exactly paint a promising picture of the underwater kingdom and what was to come in 2018's Aquaman, which is expected to be set almost entirely under the sea.
One of the film's more anticipated reveals took place shortly after Steppenwolf's attack on Atlantis when it was revealed how the Atlanteans communicated in deep underwater and it a little baffling to say the least. The brief scene, which mostly served as a setup for the next DC Films entry, saw Mera (Amber Heard) form an underwater air bubble to engage in a relatively heated conversation with her future husband, Arthur Curry, a.k.a. Aquaman (Jason Momoa), and left many fans wondering whether his eagerly awaited solo film would also feature such an uninspired method of communication.
With a lot of the DC fandom in panic mode after the critical and commercial disappointment of Justice League, acclaimed director James Wan (Furious 7) took to Twitter earlier this afternoon to ease their nerves just a tad and ensured that his upcoming blockbuster will have "no air bubbles for dialogue," which should be welcome news for all.
With Aquaman still well over a year out, we haven't heard too many details about the film's plot and with no other DC Films slated for 2018, it's a little uncertain when we'll actually get our first look at some real footage. However, if we were to wager an educated guess, Steven Spielberg's Ready Player One, which is due out March 30, seems to be the safest bet to have the trailer attached to its theatrical release, so stay on the lookout for news as we approach the new year.
Arthur Curry learns that he is the heir to the underwater kingdom of Atlantis, and must step forward to lead his people and to be a hero to the world.
