Pre-Production On James Wan's AQUAMAN Set To Begin In Australia Later this Month
The Flash may have lost its director, but things are at least still looking good for Aquaman! According to a new report, pre-production will begin ramping up in Australia sooner than expected...
2017 is going to be a big test for Warner Bros. and their DC Films Universe. Wonder Woman needs to be a success, and if Justice League goes wrong, who knows what the ramifications for these characters will be moving forward. In many ways, 2018 is equally as significant though, especially as the studio looks to launch two new franchises with Aquaman and The Flash. The latter has already lost its director due to "creative differences", and fans are hoping that James Wan stays committed to the former.
Well, in an extremely positive update, we now know that pre-production will begin in Queensland, Australia later this month. That's according to Gold Coast Bulletin, but don't expect to see any photos just yet as sets for Thor: Ragnarok need to be taken apart and removed before Aquaman can start shooting. The site adds that that is set to take place in the New Year, so we don't have long to wait!
So far, the cast of Aquaman includes only Jason Momoa, Amber Heard, and Willem Dafoe. The ensemle will probably be filled out over the next few months, so expect news on that front sooner rather than later as Warner Bros. is going to need to find a lot more characters to flesh out the world belonging to the King of Atlantis. Aquaman is set to be released on July 27th, 2018, so stay tuned for updates...
