And the title to the most anticipated sequel across the Seven Seas is…

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom

So we learned today from none other than director James Wan, who shared the title on his official Instagram account.

What the “lost kingdom” in question may be is up for speculation, but as Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom moves from development and pre-production into production, we should start to learn more. For now, it’s enough to know that “the tide is rising” and while that may be good for Arthur and Atlantis, it sounds pretty ominous for the rest of us.

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, directed by James Wan and starring Jason Momoa, is due in theaters December 16, 2022.
