In 2015, James Wan signed on to direct a standalone Aquaman movie for the DC Extended Universe. Now, the film is finally opening in theaters in North America and Wan is ready to share the film with the rest of the surface world.
Wan has been hard at work on this highly-anticipated film and he is now celebrating the film’s release in North America and other territories as it prepares to make an even bigger splash at the holiday box office despite major competition from new releases such as Mary Poppins Returns and Bumblebee.
Been a long journey, but here we are. Finally. The underdog superhero that many didn’t think was possible — gets his own movie! Made with love and passion, sweat and tears, from everyone involved. See it on the largest screen possible, and have a blast!! #Aquaman #nowplaying https://t.co/dbwwt0NNZ0

Wan cannot stress enough that the film must be seen on the biggest screen possible, with him previously mentioning that the majority of the film plays in the aspect ratio for the IMAX big screen format. What better way to immerse yourself into the world of Atlantis than through that big screen?

From Warner Bros. Pictures and director James Wan comes an action-packed adventure that spans the vast, visually breathtaking underwater world of the seven seas, “Aquaman,” starring Jason Momoa in the title role. The film reveals the origin story of half-human, half-Atlantean Arthur Curry and takes him on the journey of his lifetime—one that will not only force him to face who he really is, but to discover if he is worthy of who he was born to be… a king.
Aquaman is in theaters now.
