So we’re learning that DC’s equivalent character to Aquaman can’t carry a movie free franchise?
What’s that?
DC’s version of Aquaman is actually the Aquaman? The one famous for being a the wet sidekick of the Justice League? They made a movie about that character?
And they were planning a second one?
And only the second one isn’t getting made?
Nice. Way to go, Jason Momoa!

I mean Aquaman 1 made a shit ton of money, it’s the highest grossing DC movie with nearly $1.15bil. It’s currently the 28th highest grossing movie of all time, made more than Spider-Man: Far From Home, Joker, and Oppenheimer. So it really did turn out way better than expected.
The second, which they did make and is about to come out, is looking to flop pretty hard though. He’s saying that there’s not likely to be a third because of this.
Which is fine by me really. Aquaman may have been a massive success and turned the character into a thirst trap instead of a joke, but I did think it was just mid.

Oh, we’re getting a second one?! Sweet!
This is way more than I expected for “The Aquaman”.
I guess my brain is incapable of accepting this reality where Aquaman is this successful at the movies.
