Recently, a rumor was going around that a trailer for the upcoming Warner Bros./DC movie Aquaman would debut at this year’s WonderCon. However, this turned out to be false since no trailer for the film was screened at the convention. Additionally, director James Wan has released a statement on his Twitter page saying that there were no plans whatsoever to release the Aquaman trailer during WonderCon because the film was not complete enough to make a full-fledged preview.

In Wan’s tweets, he elaborates on the fact that the movie has so many visual effects shots that it would take a while before they would be finalized. Also, he states that he wanted the shots that would be in the trailer to be of a high standard before anything was released. Lastly, he notes that his crew has been working hard to get the movie finished for its December 2018 release date, so it is likely that the trailer will come out soon. The full statement from Wan can be seen below:

Considering that Wan only wanted to release the trailer once the visual effects shots, it is reassuring that we will see the best possible efforts from the filmmakers. In addition to the fact that Aquaman will be the first DCEU movie following the critically panned Justice League, the film will serve as an opportunity for fans and audiences to be introduced to a unique area within the franchise. Hopefully, the trailer will live up to Wan’s promises once released.
