Press: Jason Momoa Confirms He Starts Filming ‘Aquaman 2’ Today, Teases a Hair Color Change

The king is back in the ocean

COLLIDER: Star Jason Momoa used his Instagram account to reveal that he arrived yesterday in London to start filming Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. James Wan’s sequel begun filming at the end of last June, but now Aquaman himself is ready to get back to the throne of Atlantis, as Momoa starts shooting the scenes featuring the titular hero.

In the post published by Momoa yesterday, the star celebrated his arrival to London. “It is sunny out. It’s amazing, and I’m going to start Aquaman2 tomorrow”, Momoa said. Momoa also explained the sequel will have him dying his hair, as yesterday was the “the last day of the brown.” Wan might be trying to get closer to the original comics for the sequel, as Momoa says he’s “going to be a blond.” Joking about the hair color change, Momoa also added that “supposedly they [blonds] have more fun. I don’t know about that. We’ll test it out.”

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom will take the sea hero to the titular Lost Kingdom, a part of the Atlantean Empire lost in History after the Atlanteans fell into ruin and became an underwater people. Due to a cryptic set photo posted by Wan, we speculated the Lost Kingdom is the Black City of Necrus, an Atlantean Kingdom that despises surface-dwellers. Since Patrick Wilson is coming back as Ocean Master for the sequel, the city of Necrus could give the fallen king the military power he wants to wipe out humanity, a mission he failed to complete during the first movie.

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom will see the return of Amber Heard as Mera, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Black Manta, and Temuera Morrison as Aquaman’s father, Tom Curry. Game of Thrones’ Pilou Asbæk also joins the cast at an undisclosed part. Wan directs from a script written by David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick, but Momoa himself co-wrote the story treatment for the sequel.

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is currently scheduled for a December 16, 2022 release date. Check out Jason Momoa’s Instagram post below:

Press: It’s Official: ‘Dune’ to World Premiere at Venice Film Festival

VARIETY: It’s official: Denis Villeneuve’s hotly-anticipated “Dune” reboot will world premiere at the Venice Film Festival in September.

As first anticipated by Variety, the fest has announced that the big-budget sci-fi epic starring Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya will world premiere in Venice out-of-competition on September 3.

The film is adapted from Frank Herbert’s seminal science fiction bestseller about young Paul Atreides (Chalamet), scion of the noble House of Atreides which has been tasked with overseeing the barren desert planet Arrakis, also known as Dune.

Villeneuve was last in Venice with a non-conventional sci-fi pic “Arrival” in 2016.

The star-studded pic from Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures also stars Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgård, Dave Bautista, Sharon Duncan Brewster, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Chang Chen, David Dastmalchian, Charlotte Rampling, Jason Momoa, and Javier Bardem.

Though Venice, as is customary, has not specified what talents will be attending the “Dune” premiere, it’s a safe bet that Warner Bros. will be flying in some stars.

“Dune” is scheduled for a simultaneous release in theaters via Warner Bros. and on HBO Max on October 1.

Mary Parent, Denis Villeneuve, Cale Boyter and Joe Caracciolo, Jr. produced the film. The executive producers were Tanya Lapointe, Joshua Grode, Herbert W. Gains, Jon Spaihts, Thomas Tull, Brian Herbert, Byron Merritt and Kim Herbert.

Venice’s upcoming Sept. 1-11 edition is on track, barring complications, to run as a completely in-person celebration of cinema with hundreds of journalists and dozens of film delegations expected to make the trek to the Lido from all over the world.

Other high-profile titles believed to be locked in for a Lido launch comprise Jane Campion’s “The Power of the Dog” starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons, and Paolo Sorrentino’s semi-autobiographical drama “The Hand of God,” both from Netflix.

As previously announced, Bong Joon-ho will preside over the main Venice jury, while Italian multiple Oscar winner Roberto Benigni (“Life Is Beautiful”) will be honored with a lifetime achievement award.

Press: ‘Aquaman 2’ Is Titled ‘The Lost Kingdom’

Filmmaker James Wan revealed the name as the film enters pre-production.

THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER: James Wan has unveiled the title for his upcoming Aquaman sequel. The film will be called Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, the filmmaker revealed Thursday.

The upcoming project stars Jason Momoa as Aquaman, with Amber Heard expected to return as Mera and Patrick Wilson back as Orm. The original Aquaman, released in December 2018, grossed more than $1 billion, making it the only DC film to reach that number outside of Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy. Wan is producing alongside Peter Safran, with David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick returning to pen the script.

Wan is preparing to launch his next directorial effort, the original horror film Malignant, which hits theaters and HBO Max on Sept. 10. He previously was developing the horror-tinged Aquaman spinoff The Trench, but Warners opted not to move forward with that project in April.

In addition to Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, Warners has a full roster of DC Film projects coming up, including The Suicide Squad (Aug. 6), The Batman (March 4, 2022), The Flash (Nov. 4, 2022), and Warners’ and New Line’s Black Adam (July 29, 2022) and Shazam! Fury of the Gods (June 2, 2023). Blue Beetle, Batgirl, Supergirl, Green Lantern Corps, Static Shock and Wonder Woman 3 are also in the works.
