As Fast & Furious 7 continues to speed past the competition in earning terms around the world ($1.5 billion and counting), director James Wan is busy revving the engine for the next part of his career. After reports that he was in talks for the film back in April, he’s now made a deal to direct Aquaman for Warner Bros.
The film, which represents Warners’ attempt to further expand its DC Comics universe with more of the Justice League team, will star Jason Momoa as the reluctant ruler of Atlantis caught between his sympathise for us land folk and his people and attendant creatures beneath the waves. The character will be introduced in next year’s Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice, and he’ll have his own film in 2018, with Wan overseeing Kurt Johnstad’s future work on the script. Aquaman will also show up (naturally) in the Justice League films.
“The Aquaman film will be a major tentpole picture for us and James’s span of work has proven him able to take on any manner of project, bringing his incredible creative talent and unique voice to the material," says Warners president Greg Silverman. {Aquaman Jason Momoa}
And that’s not all Wan has locked in – he’s also spilled ink on a solid deal to make Robotech, adapting the 1980s anime. Yet both films will have to wait until the prolific director is finished returning to horror territory with The Conjuring 2: The Enfield Poltergeist, which he’ll shoot this year. And, as we’ve previously reported, your family members could be a part of, thanks to an open casting call…
