A sequel to "Aquaman" is also officially confirmed to be in development, with Warner Bros. Entertainment courting Wan to return as writer and director. Discussions of a follow-up film had begun during post-production, when Wan stated to the British movie magazine "Total Film" that the first film purposefully left room for further stories. Additionally, a "horror-tinged" spin-off of "Aquaman" called "The Trench" is also in development. Wan will produce while Noah Gardner and Aidan Fitzgerald signed on to write the script.
