James Wan offers his thanks after Aquaman passes $1 billion at the box office

January 14, 2019 by Gary Collinson

Warner Bros.’ Aquaman swam past the $1 billion mark at the worldwide box office this past weekend, becoming the first DC Extended Universe release to reach the milestone, and the second-highest grossing DC movie of all time behind The Dark Knight Rises (a movie it should surpass in the coming weeks).

Marking the occasion, director James Wan took to social media to offer his thanks to everyone involved with the superhero blockbuster, as well as the fans who have made it such a smash-hit success.

From Warner Bros. Pictures and director James Wan comes an action-packed adventure that spans the vast, visually breathtaking underwater world of the seven seas, “Aquaman”, starring Jason Momoa in the title role. The film reveals the origin story of half-human, half-Atlantean Arthur Curry and takes him on the journey of his lifetime — one that will not only force him to face who he really is, but to discover if he is worthy of who he was born to be … a king.”

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, Djimon Hounsou as the Fisherman King, Randall Park as Dr. Stephen Shin, Otis Dhanji as a young Arthur Curry, Julie Andrews as Karathen and Graham McTavish as King Atlan.
