James Wan responds to the cameo reports.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT James Wan is opening up about the reported Batman appearances in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom while breaking his silence on the DCEU cameo situation. This year is the final year for the DCEU before James Gunn and Peter Safran's new DC Universe kicks off under the DC Studios regime.
One of the biggest mysteries surrounding Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is whether or not Batman is actually in the film, as Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton both shot material for the movie. With only a few months left to go before Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom's release, Wan has broken his silence on the awkward situation in a new Entertainment Weekly interview.
The tricky thing early on was not knowing whether Aquaman would come out first or come out after [The Flash]. So, we just had to be prepared. At the end of the day, the best thing I would say about this movie is that it is not connected in any way to any of those films. That's the bottom line. [When asked if either Batman appears in the movie] That's a 'no comment,' right now. You're going to have to wait for the movie to come out.
But using Keaton's Batman in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom would also be confusing because it would be strange for him to suddenly be the Batman of the DCEU and ignore The Flash's ending. Still, the bigger issue at hand is that it would be pointless for any Batman to be in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom when the DCEU is coming to an end. There is no reason to include Batman when the DCEU continuity is just about to be replaced by DC Studios' DC Universe.
At the end of the day, it's unfortunate to see how there have been this many changes going on for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom because of the lack of direction at DC Films. This is why Warner Bros. Discovery will benefit from starting over from scratch with the DC Universe, with more permanent leadership. Hopefully, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom will at least be a solid movie in itself as it ends the DCEU franchise.
