DC FanDome headed under the sea with Aquaman director James Wan and Patrick Wilson, who played King Orm. The two denizens of Atlantis reflected on their time on the first film, including their favorite moments and memories.

Wan pointed out that he has collaborated with Wilson for several films. "I believe we were on the set of Conjuring 2... and you knew you were going to do this project and I think you kind of floated this idea of Ocean Master," Wilson recalled.

"Form the the get-go, knowing who was going to play Aquaman... I felt that part of the reason I wanted to come to you was the fact that you guys were different in a lot of ways," Wan explained. "And so I felt going into it that it was the right thing, was getting someone who was different so it helps adds to the idea that Arthur Curry is an outsider." He revealed he wrote the part of Orm for Wilson.

"He's just jacked. I knew I wanted to push myself," Wilson said of the character. He discussed how he worked out for the role, but wasn't prepared for the difficulty of the wire work. "I'll be doing more core exercises to get ready for that."

"Nothing in the underwater world was easy," Wan shared. "We realized we didn't have to hang you." He described the technique they introduced, which involved a "teeter totter" to make it look like the actors were bobbing up and down.

"I loved the weirdness of it. I loved being in this weird space... where you have to make up everything."

"I'm excited to continue the journeys of our heroes... and to expand on the world with #2," Wan teased. "I think the second one is a little bit more serious, a little bit more relevant to the world we're living in today."

"I'm excited for some new worlds, hopefully," Wilson added. "I'd like to see some of that. I'd like to see where else we can go... there's a lot of unexplored ocean."

"I can absolutely guarantee you new worlds in this next one," Wan promised.

Directed by James Wan, Aquaman 2 stars Jason Momoa, Amber Heard, Patrick Wilson and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. The film arrives in theaters Dec. 16, 2022.
