Aquaman director James Wan discussed the potential to explore new places in sequels during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
Warner Bros. and DC’s Aquaman is already a box office hit overseas and the latest DC film is poised to earn $120 million-plus over the five-day Christmas stretch in North America. While talks of a sequel have reportedly begun, director James Wan noted that he does not want to count their “chickens before they hatch,” though he did add that there are plenty of different locations to explore in potential sequels:
“Just like when we did the first Conjuring, we always said we don’t want to count our chickens before they hatch, but we all know that the Warrens have lots of different stories. They investigated thousands of cases, so of course, they have many stories in there and it’s the same with this. If you create a world that is interesting that has different characters and lots of different flavors to it, then, of course, there are a lot of different areas to potentially visit.”
