James Wan explains why we’re yet to see an Aquaman trailer

March 25, 2018 by Gary Collinson

Warner Bros.’ next DC Extended Universe release Aquaman is set for release this coming December, and usually by this point in the DC Films cycle, we’ve already had a glimpse at what’s in store thanks to a first teaser trailer.

However, that’s not the case with Aquaman, and with rumours circulating that the studio was set to debut a trailer this weekend at WonderCon, director James Wan has taken to Twitter to clarify why we’re yet to see anything from the Jason Momoa-headlined solo movie:

Just this past week, a rumour surfaced (there’s another oceanic pun) claiming that there’d been some negative reactions to an Aquaman test screening and that there were “some issues to be resolved”. However, this runs counter to a report back in February which said that early reactions had been positive, praising he film for  having “tons of action” and being very emotional.

Arthur Curry learns that he is the heir to the underwater kingdom of Atlantis, and must step forward to lead his people and to be a hero to the world.

Aquaman is directed by James Wan (The Conjuring) and stars Jason Momoa as the titular hero, reprising his role from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League, along with Amber Heard as Mera, Patrick Wilson as Ocean Master, Willem Dafoe as Dr. Vulko, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Black Manta, Dolph Lundgren as King Nereus, Nicole Kidman as Atlanna, Temuera Morrison as Tom Curry, Ludi Lin as Murk, Michael Beach as Jesse Kane, Otis Dhanji as a young Arthur Curry and Graham McTavish in an as-yet-unrevealed role. It is set for release on December 21st 2018.
