James Wan looking forward to showing “a really different, cool, badass side” of Aquaman

March 27, 2016 by Gary Collinson

During an appearance at WonderCon – where he debuted the new trailer for his horror sequel The Conjuring 2 – director James Wan spoke to IGN about his upcoming DC superhero movie Aquaman, which will see Jason Momoa reprising his role from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League.

“The kind of filmmaker that I am, you know, even my darker horror films generally are still very fun, and I think that’s important,” states Wan. “I think Aquaman is a character that is, you know, a lot of people have made fun of over the years, and I just think it’s fun to actually show a really different, cool, badass side to this character, but at the same time, let’s not forget to have fun with it.”
