'Aquaman' Movie News: Director Teases Details On Film, Including 'Cool Creatures' [VIDEO]
The Aquaman movie is bound to have some enticing moments.
On Sunday, Slash Film posted details from James Wan who will be directing the upcoming superhero flick starring Jason Momoa. When the director was asked about what interested him in making the film, he pointed out that he wasn't as involved with this particular character as he was with others.
"I think, like most people, we are familiar with Aquaman," Wan said. "We grew up reading or watching this character on the peripheral. I was never so in depth with Aquaman as, let's say, I was with X-Men. I grew up loving X-Men, Spider-Man and Batman. Those are obviously the key big ones, but there's always something kind of cool about Aquaman still, the idea of creating a huge world that is on our planet."
The director added what makes Aquaman so alluring as well as a tease on what can likely be expected when he makes his film debut.
"That's the thing about Aquaman that's cool is he's not an alien, right?" he said. "He's from our planet and he's from a society that we're not privy to in the context of the story. Isn't it crazy to think that we've explored space more than we have explored the depths of our ocean? That just fires up my imagination about potential sea monsters and cool creatures, that kind of stuff."
Comic book fans can expect a number of superhero flicks coming out in the next few years, including Wonder Woman, Justice League and The Flash.
Aquaman is expected to hit theaters on July 27, 2018.
