Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is funnier than its box-office hit predecessor, say Jason Momoa and director James Wan

Director James Wan has always planned for the “Aquaman” sequel to have a bit more comedy. 

In an interview with “Empire” magazine, Wan said, “From the start, I pitched that the first film would be a ‘Romancing the Stone’-type thing – an action-adventure romantic comedy,” he said, “while the second would be an outright buddy comedy.” Some inspirations he had were “Tango & Cash,” a 1989 buddy cop comedy starring Sylvester Stallone and Kurt Russell, and 1997’s “Men in Black,” starring Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones. 

In “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,” sequel to the box office smash “Aquaman,” DC’s highest worldwide grossing film of all time, Black Manta (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II), having failed to defeat Aquaman (Jason Momoa) the first time and still driven by the need to avenge his father’s death, will stop at nothing to take Aquaman down once and for all. This time Black Manta is more formidable than ever before, wielding the power of the mythic Black Trident, which unleashes an ancient and malevolent force. To defeat him, Aquaman will turn to his imprisoned brother Orm (Patrick Wilson), the former King of Atlantis, to forge an unlikely alliance. Together, they must set aside their differences in order to protect their kingdom and save Aquaman’s family, and the world, from irreversible destruction.

Director James Wan was thrilled to return to the family of “Aquaman” for the sequel “The Lost Kingdom”

 For director James Wan, one of the highlights of helming the follow-up to the box office smash “Aquaman,” DC’s highest worldwide grossing film of all time, was getting back to work with the creatives, cast and crew that helped make the first film such a success. 

Says Wan, “I was thrilled to return to the family of “Aquaman,” the cast who made these characters so memorable and compelling – Jason [Momoa], Patrick [Wilson], Amber [Heard], Yahya [Abdul-Mateen II] and Nicole [Kidman], alongside our full ensemble – and the creative team who helped build such a striking, unforgettable world. But now, the stakes are much higher and that world is much larger.”
