Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom is the last DCEU (DC Extended Universe) release before DC's upcoming plans to completely reboot their franchise. Director James Gunn and Producer James Safran have been chosen to helm this complete revamp, which means that all current storylines are over, and new faces will be cast to replace the existing Justice League characters. And this clearly shows in Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom (aka Aquaman 2) - the movie feels like the last remaining vestige of a universe before its inevitable "Big Bang" and rebirth.
