Wilson offhand confirmed his riposte to Atlantis during an interview withTHRaboutMidway , a war motion-picture show about the World War II naval struggle of the same name where US strength won a decisive triumph over the Japanese Empire . Towards the end of the consultation the subject roam towards other matter , includingAquaman , regarding which Wilson say he has been “ somewhat brief ” on “ Orm - related matters ” but despite his desire to lie with all the details of how he will be call for , out of respect for Wan he has restrain off getting involved until everything is more developed . However , he did state that Wan ’s idea forAquaman 2are “ bear on it even further ” ( confirming Momoa ’s program line ofthe film being “ agency bragging ” ) and that he also has “ a few mind of where Orm fit in , but I ’m not gon na verbalize about them . ”
Work onAquaman 2was underway almost immediately after the first was completed , with Wan even stating thatAquaman ’s anatomical structure on purpose left room for subsequent stories to be developed .

Any superhero movie that features multiple villain can often suffer from issues with pacing and focus ( we all think back the bloated fiasco that wasSpider - humans 3 ) , andAquaman ’s judiciously utilizing of both Ocean Master and Black Manta - the hero ’s most spectacular and enduring curse - as full fledge character was one facial expression of the film that upgrade it above average superhero fare . To have them both again will require a further reconciliation act , and give where the fibre were at the ending ofAquaman , Aquaman 2will most likely see Orm in prison for his crimes , and may well see Arthur reluctantly come to him for advice as Black Manta ’s mission of payback escalates .
