Aquaman brought a lot of new characters into the DC Extended Universe, and the colourful, lighter tone of James Wan's first superhero movie struck a chord with fans in a big way. Throw in a terrific lead in Jason Momoa, and it's easy to see why there's so much excitement for the upcoming sequel.
During a recent Wizard World appearance (via ComicBook.com), Dolph Lundgren - who played Mera's father King Nereus in the first movie - shared an update on Aquaman 2.
"I may be doing Aquaman 2 this summer, shooting in London," the legendary action star confirmed. "And that's coming out the following year in the theaters, they hope."
This is all likely to be COVID-dependant, but it definitely bodes well for the DC Comics sequel that Warner Bros. wants to get cameras rolling ASAP. As of now, the release date is still December 16th, 2022.
