As per Collider's visit, director Wan was offered his pick of DC projects and chose Aquaman, but only on the basis that he could do it exactly the way he wanted, and that it had to be different from the rest of the DCEU.

To that end, a lot of the talk on set was reportedly of how to make the movie "less dark", which explains why we've seen much brighter and more colourful imagery from this movie so far.

There'll also be plenty of Wan's horror influence on the movie too, with the trench sequence, according to Safran, "his homage to Creature From The Black Lagoon type scary movies and that whole sequence is classic James Wan from the way characters are revealed. The way the creatures are revealed. To the actual action that goes into that entire sequence. And that’ll be a signature James Wan scary sequence.”
