Jason Momoa will have ample time to get rid of his “Dad Bod” as it is reported that Aquaman 2 will go into pre-production in 2020, which will have James Wan attached to direct.

Regarding the new horror film, no details are known, but James Wan will co-write the script with Ingrid Bisu, and he will produce through the Atomic Monster banner with Michael Clear.
