Aquaman 2 May Fit Into DCEU Multiverse, Says Patrick Wilson
Patrick Wilson teases that Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom could fit into the DC Extended Universe's multiverse and explains the sequel's niche.

With production now complete on Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, anticipation is building for the DCEU sequel.
