Despite making over 1 billion dollars at the box office, Warner Bros. had yet to to confirm that a sequel for Aquaman was in the works. However, that has changed as the studio has taken a step toward an Aquaman sequel, hiring David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick to write the script.
Aquaman 2 will be produced by director James Wan and Peter Safran. Johnson-McGoldrick and Beall wrote the Aquaman script from a story by Beall, Geoff Johns, and Wan.
Along with the news regarding the sequel, Warner Bros. also announced last week that it was developing The Trench as a spinoff horror movie to Aquaman. Wan and Safran will produce and no director or cast is yet attached to the project.
