Zack Snyderwas the one who castJason Momoaas Aquaman and was even involved to some degree in giving shape to the character that we know today. His imprint on the character and storyline is visible throughout the first movie, and fans naturally credit him for making the character ‘likable’ (viaMovieWeb).
However, its sequel and the last movie in the DCEU,Aquaman 2, has been stuck with reshoots, negative press, and even fan boycott campaigns. As somebody who is more than aware of what goes on sets of WB, Zack Snyder was recently asked about how he feels about the movie’s trouble during an interview withMensHealth. And he replied,
“Am I relieved? Well, I get anxiety just because I know what it feels like. It’s too personal for me to feel anything like that. The movie’s probably fine. I mean, I don’t know. Who knows?”
While he did not elaborate on this, it is certainly true he might feel anxious because he underwent a similar experience while shootingJustice League. As forAquaman and the Lost Kingdom, the sequel to the billion-dollar-grossing first movie, the director James Wan is happy to have the movie ready for release, finally.
