Aquaman's future in the DC Universe is unclear.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom director James Wan is getting honest about how he feels in regards to James Gunn's DC Universe reboot. The DCEU has one final movie to release as Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom will conclude the continuity's ten-year-run, with Gunn and Peter Safran's new DC Universe set to replace it. After numerous delays, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is only a few months away from its theatrical release.
Screen Rant recently took part in a trailer event for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom where Wan was present to answer questions by members of the press. During the Q&A portion, the filmmaker was asked about his feelings on Gunn's DC Universe as the DCEU gets closer to its end.
I'm aware of everything that's happening around me. I mean, I use the analogy that I'm living in a house that's getting renovated. It's hard to not be aware of the renovation that's happening around me. But the beauty about Aquaman is that we've always designed these two films to be within their own world. The advantage of not being hooked into this bigger universe is whatever happens over there doesn't really affect my movie.
If Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is a commercial success, it wouldn't be shocking if DC Studios finds a way to have Momoa continue playing the Justice League hero. Looking at the recent DC movies' financial performances, if Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom bombs at the box office, Gunn's DC Universe will likely make Aquaman another character he reboots for the upcoming continuity.
Time will tell what is actually going on with Momoa in terms of his involvement with DC Studios, as things may get clearer after Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom have been released. Given the mixed reception of the DCEU in recent years, it may be easier for the DC Universe to have Momoa play someone else, whether it be the highly speculated role of Lobo or a different DC character.
