As we wait patiently for our first glimpse of Aquaman – with director James Wan revealing this weekend that the trailer is not ready due to the amount of VFX work required – actor Dolph Lundgren has revealed that additional photography is now underway on the DC Extended Universe release.
Lundgren, who is set to portray the character of King Nereus, took to Instagram to share the news in a story captured by a user on Reddit (via ComicBook):

Now, it’s a little unclear whether this is simply additional photography which was always part of the production schedule, or reshoots based upon those recent rumours that the Aquaman movie “has some issues to be resolved”. Hopefully, if it is the latter, it’s not another case of enforced changes on Warner Bros.’ behalf…
Either way, Aquaman isn’t set to arrive until December, so if there are any “issues” to resolve, Wan and company certainly have plenty of time to get things right.
