Following his work in the horror genre, The Conjuring man James Wan has made a slightly successful jump into the action realm pulling off the supremely difficult task of making Fast & Furious 7, which has now powered past $800 million at the global box office. That huge hit means he’s naturally in demand and Warners is seriously considering him to direct one of its DC Comics movies, holding early talks for him to tackle **Aquaman{
Jason Momoa is still set to star in the film as the watery hero, who is reportedly cameoing in Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice and will naturally be a part of the Justice League films. But Wan is wanted to handle the stand-alone Aquaman adventure, which Warners wants in cinemas for 2018.
Currently, the studio has two scripts on track in development, with Will Beall and Kurt Johnstad both beavering away on stories that will either fight each other for dominance or be combined into one movie.
And The Hollywood Reporter cautions that Wan doesn’t even have an offer at this point. While Warners is certainly interested, there’s a chance he could be called upon by Universal to make an eighth Fast & Furious film (yet to be officially announced, but given Vin Diesel’s talk of a new trilogy and that monster box office, you can bet things are coming together behind the scenes) and is already preparing to shoot Conjuring sequel The Enfield Poltergeist, which should be on screens next year.
