Aquaman director James Wan has said that the second film in the franchise will be more serious than the first.
Aquaman was a film that blew audiences away back in 2018. While critics were divided on it, everyone seemed to agree that it was a fun film and it ended up grossing well over $1B worldwide. A sequel was quickly put into the works with James Wan returning as director.
Details on the upcoming Aquaman film are currently being kept under wraps but James Wan has given us a few hints as to what to expect. Before the DC FanDome panel, he already said that fans can expect more horror sequences like The Trench scene in the film but has now given us a better idea as to what the tone of the film will be like.
