James Wan is gearing into full promotional mode as Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is coming close to release and will be the final movie to end the previous DC Universe.

As the director James Wan told the ComicBook, the film would be a "standalone film" that "kind of lives in its own world."

The filmmaker also teased the upcoming movie and its leading star. "You know, people love Jason Momoa; people love him playing this role; and people love the action visuals of this space and this world," he continued.

"And that's what we're doing: we're taking it to the next level and we are still expanding. This is the next level and I'm very excited to finally put out there to show them what we've been working on all these years."

Previously, The Conjuring director has revealed that constant DC changes did not aggressively impact the film.

In a chat with The Hollywood Reporter, the director said, "I've had to make adjustments all along the way. The DCU has been through lots of different versions, and one of the things that was challenging about this film was keeping track of what's going on."

"Fortunately, the Aquaman universe is pretty far removed from the rest of the world. We're going to many different underwater kingdoms that are not necessarily related to what's happening with the other movies and characters, so we're standalone in that respect."

"So I can just tell my story on its own without being affected too much, but at the same time, I have to be mindful of what's been happening," he added.
