China’sAquamantrailer is easily the best that has been released thus far. There is a ton of new footage that has never been seen before and it sheds more light on the story. Additionally, James Wan’s visuals look amazing. If comic book fans were on the fence about seeingAquaman, this will more than likely be the tipping point that gets them in line to see the movie on opening day. The latest trailer arrives as positive early reactions have been hitting social media as well.
The previous trailers for James Wan’sAquamanhave all been pretty good, but they all seemed to focus on one aspect, as oppose to the movie as a whole. The latest Chinese trailer packs a lot of punch in two minutes, teasing all kinds of new footage, including an awesome lassofight scene between Arthur Curry and Black Manta. The mission of tracking down King Atlan’s missing Trident is fleshed out more,Amber Heard’s Meragives a glimpse of her awesome powers, and the Orm vs. Curry fight is given spoiler-like new footage.
Jason Momoa’s Arthur Curry taking on Patrick Wilson’sOcean Masterlooks like it will be one of the more groundbreaking scenes inAquaman. James Wan’s eye for detail is pretty crazy when watching Curry go against Orm as water swirls around them. The climax of the trailer scene ties everything together with an intense explosion. Curry’s past is also put on display, giving viewers more insight into what the overall story is about. Another thing that the latest trailer has going for it is that it doesn’t feature any of the cheesy one-liners that have been present in other trailers and promotional material.
TheAquaman early reactionshave been mostly positive, with some fans calling it an underwater version ofStar Wars, which seems pretty cool. The Marvel Cinematic Universe comparisons have also come into play with more than one person likening it to an MCU Phase 1 movie. There have been some that were not into the DCEU’s latest offering, calling it cheesy, but that is to be expected. Overall, things are looking pretty good for Arthur Curry’s first standalone movie and for the studio as well.
Early projections forAquamanhave been updated, and it’s starting to look good for the project, which should be a sigh of relief to Warner Bros. and DC Films. Over the long holiday weekend (December 21st), the movie is projected to bring in at least $100 million with a three-day total of $65 million. That number is belowJustice League’s five-day total, but theearly buzz for Aquamanshould help the movie surpass the overallJustice Leaguebox office numbers when all is said and done. This is surely exciting news for DCEU fans who have been waiting patiently to see James Wan bring Arthur Curry to the big screen.
