With James Wan’s Aquaman having impressed many upon its release in 2018, it didn’t take long for sequel offering to be announced. And now, there’s word that Wan is also to oversee an Aquaman animated series.

Courtesy of The Hollywood Reporter, Wan will be teaming with Warner Bros. Animation to develop the animated Aquaman: King of Atlantis show for HBO Max. To be made up on three episodes, King of Atlantis will seemingly bridge the gap between Aquaman and Aquaman 2 – with Arthur Curry finally embracing his place as the King of the Seven Seas.

There’s no word just yet on whether Jason Momoa will lend his vocals to the Marine Marvel, although we do know that the characters of Orm, Vulko, and Mera will be present and accounted for in the series. Orm is Arthur’s half-brother who’s intent on taking the throne for himself, Vulko is Aquaman’s mentor, and Mera is the Queen who rules at Arthur’s side.

ThunderCats Roar’s Victor Courtright and Batman vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ Marly Halpern-Grase will be serving as showrunners on Aquaman: King of Atlantis, with Wan production through his Atomic Monster banner.

As ever, expect more on Aquaman: King of Atlantis as it continues to develop.
