Jason Momoa starrer Aquaman 2 director James Wan hints at a threequel

Jason Momoa starrer Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom recently hit the theatres worldwide. The film opened to mixed reviews from the critics with $13.7 million in their pocket so far. However, this didn't discourage the director James Wan from making sequel plans.

Will there be an Aquaman 3?

During a promotional event, the director, who helmed the first two Aquaman films, hinted at the third instalment. Wan said, "Who knows what the future holds? But I love playing in this world." Soon after he spilt these words, the fans were quick to conclude that Wan is planning for Aquaman 3 and it would be him to direct the film.

Not just the director, even Jason Momoa once hinted at reprising his role of Arthur Curry/Aquaman in Aquaman 3. He expressed his desire to keep playing the character, but given upcoming changes, he acknowledged uncertainty around the franchise's future in the DCEU.

Apart from Jason and Patrick Wilson, the film also stars Amber Heard, who only appears on camera for about 20 minutes or so and while she does talk in the film, it is just a measly 11 lines apparently. According to the portal, Heard shows up for a few action sequences toward the beginning and the end, but she's largely removed from the main story. Even though she and Momoa's on-screen baby serves as a central plot point.

Instead of Amber taking centre stage, Momoa and Patrick Wilson end up teaming up and leading most of the film. The film also stars  Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Randall Park, Dolph Lundgren, Temuera Morrison, Martin Short and Nicole Kidman, in supporting roles. In India, the film released on December 22, clashing with Salaar, Neru and Dunki.
