Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is the second movie in the aquatic superhero series. But is that the end of the line for Jason Momoa’s Arthur Curry, or might a third movie happen?
Aquaman 2 – aka Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom – currently carries a Rotten Tomatoes score of 36%. Which isn’t great.
The movie hit screens this week, and is predicted to have a middling opening weekend. Which isn’t great when the movie’s reported budget is more than $200 million. So what does that mean for the future of the franchise?
Will there be an Aquaman 3?
Jason Momoa – who plays Aquaman – wants to make a threequel, but states that the decision is out of his hands, telling Entertainment Tonight: “I don’t necessarily want it to be the end… [but] I don’t think it’s really, like, a choice.”
So based on those two quotes, we reckon that this iteration of Aquaman is done.
That said, writer-director James Wan wouldn’t be averse to a sequel. “I haven’t directed a third movie before,” Wan told Empire back in October. “So I’d be open to doing another [Aquaman] if I got the same freedom I’ve had on these first two. I’m not sure what direction [Gunn and Safran] are going in, though, so who knows? I’ve learned to never say never.”
Aquaman 2 is in cinemas now. For more on the movie, head here, or check out the below articles:
