AQUAMAN AND THE LOST KINGDOM Is The Official Title Of The James Wan-Directed DC Sequel Starring Jason Momoa

It looks like pre-production on Warner Bros.' Aquaman 2, which will once again star Jason Momoa in the title role, has officially commenced. Director James Wan has just revealed the film's official title.

Director James Wan (Malignant; The Conjuring) has revealed this evening that Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom will be the official title of his upcoming DC Comics sequel, which will see the return of Jason Momoa (Game of Thrones; See) as the titular deep-sea superhero. 

While The Lost Kingdom is plenty cryptic, The Illuminerdi recently learned the film's working title is "Necrus," a reference to the mysterious Black City that is found in the deepest part of an underwater canyon and made its one and only appearance in Aquaman #30. Its inhabitants are a militaristic society led by King Mongo, who believes that any and all invasions from the surface dwellers should be met with an aggressive and fatal response, which could very well set the stage for the upcoming Aquaman follow-up.

In addition to the fan-favorite Momoa, supporting cast members Amber Heard (Mera), Patrick Wilson (Orm), Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (Black Manta), and Dolph Lundgren (Nereus) are all expected to reprise their roles from the previous installment, while Game of Thrones alum Pilou Asbæk recently joined the ensemble cast in an undisclosed villain role. 

No word yet on Nicole Kidman, Temuera Morrison or Willem Dafoe, but it seems more probable than not that they'll all also be back in some capacity as Atlanna, Thomas Curry, and Vulko respectively. 

In addition to the Aquaman sequel, Warner Bros. and DC also have the following titles lined up for 2022/2023: The Batman (March 4, 2022), The Flash (November 4, 2022), Black Adam (July 29, 2022), and Shazam! Fury of the Gods (June 2, 2023). They are also in various stages of development on Blue Beetle, Batgirl, Supergirl, Green Lantern CorpsStatic ShockWonder Woman 3, and an untitled Superman film. 

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is scheduled to hit theaters on December 16, 2022.

@Origame - Yep. "Lost" is an incorrectly and over-used marketing word.

Thank god Wan is back. He's my favorite of the DCEU directors, and I think Aquaman is so much dumb fun i love it. Probably also has one of the few great DC 3rd acts (This and Shazam)

I love it! After cramming every possible thing into the first movie, I hope the sequel can live up it. Please don't let this be another Wonder Woman: 1984.

Is the "Lost kingdom" a jail cell where Amber heard belongs?

@blitzkreg - amber turd is liar. Not one of Depp’s exs have said anything bad about him (a few have defended him) and there is plenty of evidence of heard’s lies, most recent one being police body cam footage of the “trashed” apartment

@MCUKnight11 -

Y'all keep giving the guy who abused Amber a pass, and are mad because she punched back. It's not her fault he wasted his money and got fired by Disney and WB.

He should have stayed with his wife. You leave the dance with the one that brought you.

Can't wait for this the first movie was fantastic one of the best movies of 2018, it's a shame the horror spinoff based on the Trench creatures won't be happening.

I hope they bring in Garth and Tula. Maybe even Dolphin. Then Aquaman 3 can bring in Lorena and Jackson. The Aquaman family is pretty rad. Hell maybe even a Lagoon Boy cameo in Atlantis

The title gives me an Indiana Jones feel. Then again, the first one had some Indy vibes.

The writing in the first film was clunky in places but the action and Jason Momoa’s charisma made it really entertaining. Hopefully they learn from their mistakes and make a better sequel.

@MovieMonster - There was a video game in 1984 called, "Indiana Jones and the Lost Kingdom".

The name should be changed to Aquaman and Fecal matter finger cutter.

For people wondering what I'm talking about I'm talking about what Amber Heard did.
