If we’re going to understand this ‘Aquaman’ movie, we have to get to know all the relevant players.
Before we talk about the first trailer for Aquaman, the James Wan-led DC Comics film that hits theaters next year, we have to talk about what’s at stake: nothing. The state of DC Comics films appears to be in such flux that there are almost no bad ideas. It seems unlikely that Ben Affleck will return for another Justice League movie. They might make another Superman movie at some point. And everyone’s rooting for Wonder Woman 1984 to improve upon an already good first film. Everything else is chaos. Which is a fitting description, I suppose, for a company with at least two movies about The Joker brewing. There are no bad ideas on the DCEU. Remember that for later.
On to the first Aquaman trailer, which was presented to the throbbing masses at San Diego Comic-Con this weekend. It provides a great first look at a vibrant yet still unfinished world in which DC tries out its reluctant king hero’s journey.
