James Wan’s Aquaman took many by surprise when it stormed the box office in December 2018, earning over $1.1 billion globally to become the highest-grossing DC Comics adaptation ever made. It marked an impressive solo debut for a character that made their big screen bow by appearing in a Gif in Batman v Superman, and as soon as the numbers came in, the execs at Warner Bros. must have had dollar signs in their eyes.
With the sequel not set to hit theaters until December 2022, fans will have to wait a while before they see Jason Momoa in the flesh as Arthur Curry, but along with horror-tinged spinoff The Trench, the Aquaman franchise is only set to grow bigger with the news that Wan is developing and producing an animated series exclusively for HBO Max.
