Aquamanmay have been a bit of a joke in the comic book world up until this point, and probably still is to some people, but director James Wan is looking to change that in 2018 when he delivers the heros big screen solo outing, with Jason Momoa in the title role. Its a project thats shaping up quite nicely so far and if a recent DCEU leak posted to Reddit is to be believed, we should all be very excited for the pic.

After giving us a bit of information on some of the villains we may see in The Batman, the same Reddit user has now delivered a juicy scoop on Aquaman, and it sounds like the film will be offering up a wildly different take on the character. According to the post, the studio is aiming to make an underwater horror movie and of all their DCEU projectscurrently in development, this is the one thats been generating the majority of the excitement at the office.

Furthermore, the script has been labeled as a fantastic new superhero genre and is immensely scary albeit satisfying. As such, Warner Bros. has high hopes for the project and is taking their time with it, hoping to have it be the new standard for future DCEU movies. Thats a whole lot of hype, and as with all rumors stemming from Reddit, wed advise taking everything here with a grain of salt. Still, its definitely exciting to hear and with James Wan at the helm, were inclined to believe all this.

For one, hes a terrific and hugely talented filmmaker, one who has more than proven himself already. Not only that, but given his horror background and the fact that hes known for being able to scare the sh*t out of audiences time and time again, thanks to films likeThe ConjuringandInsidious, it makes perfect sense that hed bring some of that stuff over intoAquaman. Dont get us wrong, this will still be a superhero movie first and foremost, but the claims about it being scary and having horror elements sound exactly like what wed expect to see with Wan directing.

Production is now underway on the project, so well hopefully be able to lay eyes on some footage towards the end of the year and at that point, well be able to see how accurate this all turns out to be. But if this is indeed the direction that the studio and Wan are taking, turningAquamaninto an underwater horror movie thats set to be immensely scary, then we can safely say that the characters solo outing just got a whole lot more exciting.

Weve seen superhero moviesflirt with horror in the past, of course, but with one of the genres most talented directors in charge here, it truly does sound like Arthur Currys about to be given a drastic new makeover, one that might just result in the DCEUs best film yet.
