Discussions about an Aquaman 2 could look like.

Momoa made a brief cameo as Aquaman in hunt for King Atlan's Trident with Mera (Amber Heard).

How the solo movie ultimately plays out is not yet known for many, but the studios like what they've seen and the reactions they've heard. $65 million opening weekend have given WB chairman Toby Emmerich enough confidence in Aquaman to begin sequel discussions. These talks are still in the earliest of stages, though, as no writer has been hired to this point.

WB and DC have some talk on a sequel to Shazam! as well, so the talk of Aquaman 2 is a good sign that the Momoa-led solo film will turn into a franchise.

For his part, Momoa already has ideas for where he wants to see Arthur go in a sequel and even pitched it to Emmerich. Even though the star wouldn't get into specifics on his pitch, it will be fascinating to see if Momoa's input and vision is implemented in Aquaman 2. Many are sure to want the studios to find a way to bring Wan back to direct as well, but it is not yet known if he would stick around. And even though the specific outcome of Aquaman is still a mystery, any sequel would likely feature more of Mera and could even elevate Black Manta to main villain status. We'll have to wait and see how exactly Aquaman 2 shapes up, but it does appear likely that it will happen as long as Aquaman just meets expectations.
