Over the weekend, director James Wan celebrated the one-year anniversary of the release of his DC blockbuster, Aquaman, which took in over $1.148 billion at the global box office ($335M domestic; $813.1M foreign) to become the highest-grossing DC film of all-time. 

To mark the occassion, Wan shared some never-before-seen behind-the-scenes photos from the film, showcasing some fun moments with Jason Momoa (Arthur Curry/Aquaman), Patrick Wilson (Orm/Ocean Master), Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (David Kane/Black Manta), Kekoa Kekumano (16-year-old Arthur Curry), Ludi Lin (Captain Murk), Michael Beach (Jesse Kane) and Willem Dafoe (Nuidis Vulko).

From Warner Bros. Pictures and director James Wan comes an action-packed adventure that spans the vast, visually breathtaking underwater world of the seven seas, “Aquaman,” starring Jason Momoa in the title role. The film reveals the origin story of half-human, half-Atlantean Arthur Curry and takes him on the journey of his lifetime—one that will not only force him to face who he really is, but to discover if he is worthy of who he was born to be…a king.

Loved it, it really was like a comic book brought to life. Not without flaws but it was just so entertaining.

Aquaman is a prime example of why studio directors and actors/actresses can't take comic book movies seriously. In the case of films like this, they are absolutely right. Given the success of the Dark Knight films, Man of Steel, Logan and Joker, there is no reason why these films continue to have to be brainless garbage other than the fact that Hollywood is so racked with cronyism that people with actual talent to tell good compelling stories are looked over to give way to the James Wans of the world.

Man of Steel was not a success...should’ve made a B coming off TDK trilogy.

@regularmovieguy - It did! Man of Steel was more profitable than Batman V Superman. It has sold more DVD's than ANY other DC property outside of the Dark Knight Rises (in fact it is in the top 25 of all time) and it did comparatively better than Batman Begins for the return on its investment. So the same way Batman Begins was not a failure given that it led to the most successful solo superhero trilogy of all time. The same would have happened with Man of Steel if WB had not enlisted one of the main beneficiaries of cronyism - Zack Snyder - to come in blow up Chris Nolan's blueprint for a potentially epic film franchise.

Man of Steel is Zack Snyder’s movie. He doubled down on MOS in BvS.

Nolan may have helped craft the story and but he was a producer on those movies only to put butts in seats.

I don’t even think Cavill ever met with Nolan.

@regularmovieguy - Zack Snyder is a good VISUAL director. It is because he was involved in the plot of Batman V Superman that it became an Abomimation. Just the fact that Nolan wrote the story makes it better than MOST CBMs.

Snyder did not double down on MOS. We know this because it was a Batman film. Snyder in my opinion hates Superman. Why else would he be killed in the second film.

“Just the fact that Nolan wrote the story makes it better than MOST CBMs.”

He may very well hate Superman. But if you love MOS as much as you do you have to give Snyder more credit than Nolan.

It was his movie.

Fun movie but I only watched it once in the theater and haven’t seen it again since then. Maybe it’s time for a rewatch.
