James Gunn's DCU reset was 'Aquaman 2's biggest. challenge, says James Wan.
As the release date for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom slowly swims towards us, more details are starting to surface regarding the sequel, and the filmmaker behind it just revealed the biggest challenge for the production of the film.
I’ve had to make adjustments all along the way. The DCU has been through lots of different versions, and one of the things that was challenging about this film was keeping track of what’s going on. Fortunately, the Aquaman universe is pretty far removed from the rest of the world. We’re going to many different underwater kingdoms that are not necessarily related to what’s happening with the other movies and characters, so we’re stand-alone in that respect.
As the director stated, the fact that Arthur Curry and the characters that are close to him remain in the ocean helps him to stay away from what's going on with the universe at large. However, with the upcoming reset coming from James Gunn and Peter Safran's vision for the franchise, Wan had to stay on alert to insert any necessary modifications to his narrative.

The way the major players of the franchise will be involved in the plot are still being kept safe in a coral reef, but it has been confirmed that Amber Heard and Willem Dafoe will be reprising their roles from the first movie.
