AQUAMAN 2: These Characters From Geoff Johns' "New 52" Run Will Reportedly Be Included In The Sequel
It was only yesterday that Aquaman 2 secured a release date, but a new rumour has surfaced which points to a group of characters from Geoff Johns' comic book run being introduced. Read on for details...
Yesterday, we learned that we'll be waiting until December 2022 for the Aquaman sequel and, well, that's going to require a lot of patience on our part! It's a release date that makes sense, though, especially as Warner Bros. is being careful not to saturate theaters with its DC Comics adaptations and the first instalment found such a great deal of success in that slot last year.
While work has only just started on the sequel's screenplay, a trusted source for Aquaman news has dropped a scoop about which characters we'll end up seeing. Before we get to that, here's some proof that they have a pretty good track record for this sort of thing:
As for what we should expect from Aquaman 2, it sounds like more of Geoff Johns characters are coming to the big screen (which makes sense based on what happened the first time around).
Introduced during "The New 52" era of storytelling, The Others were a mysterious group of heroes that Aquaman was once part of long before he met the Justice League. They're all humans that wield legendary Atlantean artefacts, and it's easy enough to imagine how they could come into play here, especially as so much of the first movie revolved around Arthur trying to track down Atlan's trident.
What do you guys think about the possibility of seeing The Others on the big screen?
