One thing that James Wan wants to do with the Aquaman sequel is to take audiences back into exploring this beautiful underwater world but ultimately taking them on an unexpected journey.
Wan’s vision of making this movie even better than Aquaman part one would be possible only if everything goes right from day one.
He wants Aquaman 2 to be different from part one because he understands today’s audience is intelligent. So he wants to give them something interesting and unique instead of something predictable.
In addition to his horror movies and Fast & Furious 7 films, Wan has used this gimmick for Aquaman 2. So if you’re going in expecting the same tone as that of Aquaman, then you’ll probably leave disappointed.
He said that he got inspired by the Italian horror film Planet Of the Vampires, which is the 1965 campy classic.
Aquaman part II should not be expected like its predecessor because it has greater scale than the previous parts, including amazing visual effects.
Wan says the first movie took everyone by surprise. It was because the audience was not familiar with DC comics. So, he thinks that the audience would accept the second part the way it is and goes with his heavy plot.
