Aquaman Trailer Update from Director James Wan

March 26, 2018

Despite rumors, director James Wan has gone on record that an Aquaman trailer has not been held back due to reshoots, but due to his own insistence on quality control for the Warner Bros. event film.

Hey friends, I usually do my best to avoid internet noises (especially fabricated distractions) but a teaser-trailer going out this weekend was never in the books — despite what some claim. It’s not because of anyone or any nefarious reason holding it back — IT’S ME. (1/3)

I am simply not ready yet to share. This movie is filled to the gills with VFX, and the process is as slow and laborious as a sea-slug! Yes, even shots for the trailers take forever to do, and I refuse to put out anything that might be construed as subpar. (2/3)

I know it seems like nothing much is brewing above the surface, but I can assure you, we’re working nonstop under the waves (3/3)

(Ps: And yes, I plan to use oceanic puns/references every chance I get)

On the reshoot front, Dolph Lundgren confirmed on his social channels confirmation that he did recently return to do additional photography as his character King Nereus (via Reddit).

Directed by James Wan from a script by Will Beall, Geoff Johns and Wan, the film is being produced by Peter Safran, with Zack Snyder, Deborah Snyder, Rob Cowan, Jon Berg and Geoff Johns serving as executive producers. Rupert Gregson-Williams (Wonder Woman) will compose the music.
