Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is an upcoming American superhero movie based on DC Comics featuring the character Aquaman. Produced by DC Films, The Saffron Company and Atomic Monster Productions, and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, is destined to be the sequel to Aquaman (2018) and the thirteenth film of DC’s Extended Universe (DCEU). The film will be directed by James Wan from a screenplay written by David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick, and stars Jason Momoa as Arthur Curry / Aquaman alongside Amber Heard, Patrick Wilson, Dolph Lundgren and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II.
Momoa submitted a story for an Aquaman sequel during the production of the first film, but Wan didn’t want to rush the next film. He agreed to oversee the development of the sequel in January 2019, and Johnson-McGoldrick signed on to write the script a month later. In August 2020 it was confirmed that Wan would direct the film and said it would expand the universe of the first Aquaman. The title of the sequel was announced in June 2021 and filming will begin that same month in London.
