Momoa stars alongside Patrick Wilson, Amber Heard, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Nicole Kidman in the Aquaman sequel. The film, directed by James Wan, is set to be released in cinemas from December 22.
Wan recently said he wants to return to the horror genre for his next film following Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom. “You know, I have a tendency to want to go back and forth,” he told Collider.
“So, whenever I make a smaller film, I wanna go and make a big film. Whenever I’m doing a big one, I’m like, ‘Oh, I wanna go and do a smaller film,’ and when I do my smaller films, it tends to be a horror film. So, you know, I feel like the itch for horror is potentially calling, but we’ll see.”
Along with directing both Aquaman movies, Wan’s past credits include 2004’s Saw, Insidious, The Conjuring and Malignant.
