AQUAMAN Will Be a Swashbuckling Adventure Film in the Spirit of RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK

I don't know about you, but I'm really curious to see how James Wan's Aquaman is going to turn out. I liked what I saw of Jason Momoa's Aquaman in the Justice League trailer, and it will be fun to really see him in action. In a recent interview with WGRZ, Wan talked about Aquaman:

"I think Amber [Heard] and Jason Momoa, in their moments in Justice League, [are] going to give the rest of the world a flavor of what their own standalone movie could be. And that is just scratching the surface of what I plan to do."

He explained the tone of the standalone film and described it as a swashbuckling action adventure film in the spirit of Raiders of the Lost Ark:

"I kind of don't want to give too much away but know this: The spirit that I'm going for is like a classic sort of swashbuckling action adventure, sort of high seas adventure story. It's ultimately a quest story in the spirit of Raiders of the Lost Ark meets Romancing the Stone." 

That actually sounds really exciting! The movie doesn't come out until July 27th, 2018, so we've got a long way to go, but we'll get to see him kick some ass next year in Justice League. Wan is one of my favorite directors working today, and I trust that he's going to give us something the fans will love.
