Warner Bros confirms ‘Aquaman’ sequel

Warner Bros’ most successful DC comic superhero movie is getting a sequel.

Who’s involved?

The co-writer of December 2018 box office smash Aquaman is on the case for a direct sequel.

David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick, who worked with Aquaman director James Wan on The Conjuring 2 and whose credits also include episodes of TV series The Walking Dead, has been confirmed as the writer of Aquaman 2.

Aquaman has generated $1.12 billion since its December debut, only this month opening in the world’s third biggest cinema-going market, Japan.

Australian-Malaysian filmmaker James Wan, who co-created the Saw horror franchise and directed the Insidious and Conjuring movies’ first installments, is likewise returning to Aquaman 2, though this time joins longtime production partner Peter Safran as a producer. It’s not yet known whether he would direct as well.

Similarly, Wan and Safran are producers on The Trench, a horror-themed spin-off from Aquaman, with Wan thought to be interested in directing though not in any capacity confirmed.
