'Aquaman 2' will take on climate change as a major plot point.
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom will still take a couple of months to get here, but details about the upcoming sequel are starting to emerge from the depths of the ocean. During a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, James Wan talked about how one of the major plot points for the next installment of the franchise will be related to one of the biggest problems the world is facing today: Global warming. Super villains are not the only threat to Aquaman and his allies this time around.
I think people are going to be excited to see that this movie is quite different from the first movie in terms of tone. It’s a little bit more serious, and we’re dealing with issues like climate change. We’re not afraid to lean into that in a big way, because the Aquaman comic book, even way back when, has always been environmentally conscious. He’s always been someone who’s fought to keep the ocean clean, and it feels more relevant in the world that we’re living in today.
Given how the ocean is his home, it would make sense for Arthur Curry to try and keep it clean, even if it meant having direct confrontations with the humans that live on the surface. Wan is adding a second problem to the mix, and a super villain threatening the life of the people important to Arthur hasn't been revealed yet.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT This iteration of the character first appeared during a small cameo in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, when Batman stole Lex Luthor's private files. Apparently, the villain was keeping tabs on all the major meta humans hidden within the DC Universe. Aquaman was seen attacking the camera that was looking for him, before speeding away from the eyes of Luthor.
