Holy Mackerel! James Wan says it’s a wrap for Aquaman!

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Director James Wan is kicking off his Halloween weekend with a treat for all of you DC fans out there, with the declaration that AQUAMAN has officially wrapped its production! Earlier today, the social media-conscious writer/director/producer and sound engineer posted a lengthy update to his personal Facebook page, saying that "after nearly a year and five months worth of photography (122 days of filming), we've finally wrapped."

As Wan continues in the message posted for his fans and friends, he admits that "by the end, we were crawling to the finish line." He then goes on to elaborate about the meticulous design work of the AQUAMAN project, and how the heavy effects and dangerous stunts all contributed to this being one of the biggest films he's ever helmed.

You can read Wan's entire Facebook post below:

I'll tell you something, I am positively loving Wan's enthusiasm for the film he's made centered around Jason Momoa's "rough and tumble" version of the legendary Justice League member. While I've personally moved on from being interested in the Wan-founded SAW franchise, my ass will be in a theater seat opening weekend to witness AQUAMAN fighting alongside Amber Heard's Mera for a bit of aquatic derring do!

AQUAMAN starring Jason Momoa, Amber Heard, Willem Dafoe, Dolph Lundgren, Nicole Kidman, Patrick Wilson, and Yahya Abdul-Matten II will hit theaters like a tidal wave on December 21, 2018.
