Aquamangets the Honest Trailers treatment in a new video fromScreen Junkies . After 2017’sJustice Leaguemisfired at the box office , the DC Extended Universe take a yr off between film to regroup . luckily , it cope to bounce back something violent withAquaman , which earned mostly positive reactions from critic and took in a monolithic $ 1.15 billion at the global box office . With those kinds of number , it ’s no surprise that Warner Bros. has since get to work on not onlyAquaman 2(which is schedule for 2022 ) , but also a spinoff about the puppet that occupy withinThe Trench .
Directed by James Wan , Aquamanfollows Arthur Curry ( Jason Momoa ) as he gear up out to claim his birthright as the true heir to the underwater land of Atlantis , with the help ofthe warrior princess Mera(Amber Heard ) . Of course , there ’s alotmore that happens in the cinema than this deceivingly elementary secret plan synopsis would evoke . As such , Aquaman ’s legion tale screw thread are ( course ) one of the various elements that get riff on in the movie ’s prescribed Honest Trailer .

Screen Junkiesdropped itsAquamanHonest Trailer online today , March 19 , which is a workweek beforethe film is scheduled to go far on DVD , Blu - ray , and concern home medium formatting ( it released digitally earlier this month ) . you may check it out in the infinite below .
If there was ever any dubiousness thatZack Snyder made the right call in casting Momoaas Arthur Curry inBatman V Superman : Dawn of Justice , then Wan’sAquamanmovie firmly frame that feeling to rest . Indeed , as the Honest Trailer manoeuvre out , the latter film fill in the superhero ’s translation from"the nerd that talks to fish " into a full - blown hunky warrior who ’s even equal to of making Aquaman ’s long - mocked orange and green comical Holy Writ costume look coolheaded . Wan ’s tentpole similarly demonstrates just how visually impressive the character and his globe can appear in live - action , thanks in no small part toThe ConjuringandFurious 7filmmaker ’s efforts behind the camera ( in combining with those of countless VFX artists and production team members ) . The film ’s spectacle made it very much a must - see moving-picture show last December and aid tobuoyAquamanto unanticipated degree of commercial success , in the process .
Of course , as the Honest Trailer points out , Aquamancan also be overwhelming to watch ( in a good fashion , mostly ) because of the sheer amount of story threads , military action , and options that it make out to cram into its runtime . It ’s no wonder , then , that Wan need to take a break andpassed the job of directingThe Conjuring 3this yearoff to someone else , rather than move right on to another enfranchisement movie before he turn his attention toAquaman 2 . luckily , WB and DC clearly realize that he ’s an of import part of the equation here and are giving Wan plenty of clock time to retrieve and ( as this video observes ) try and image out how the heck he ’s gon na top himself with Arthur Curry ’s next big adventure .
