Producer Says TRENCH Spinoff Will Come Way Before AQUAMAN 2
Horror fans were drawn into theaters to see Aquaman last December for one primary reason: It was directed by 21st Century Master of Horror James Wan, the creative mastermind behind the Saw and Conjuring franchises (among many other successes). Once immersed in the film, however, most horror fans fell in love with the Trench.
Now, Aquaman producer Peter Safran is telling THR that a spinoff feature film about the devolved, aquatic humanoids will come out well in advance of Aquaman 2:
“We always, even from the early concept art days, loved the idea of a Trench movie,” Safran told The Hollywood Reporter on Tuesday at the opening of the Aquaman exhibit at Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood. “Then, when audiences embraced it in the movie itself the way they did, particularly that ant farm shot where the camera follows the Trench [creatures] following Arthur and Mera down into the deep, we just knew that we had something very special there and we knew what that movie should be. And consequently, I suspect that that’s one that will come out significantly before Aquaman 2.”

Synopsis:
Once home to the most advanced
civilization on Earth, the city of Atlantis is now an underwater kingdom ruled
by the power-hungry King Orm. With a vast army at his disposal, Orm plans to
conquer the remaining oceanic people — and then the surface world. Standing in
his way is Aquaman, Orm’s half-human, half-Atlantean brother and true heir to
the throne. With help from royal counselor Vulko, Aquaman must retrieve the
legendary Trident of Atlan and embrace his destiny as protector of the deep.
Aquaman stars Jason Momoa, Amber Heard, and Willem Dafoe.
