'Aquaman' is set to hit UK cinemas on 21st December. Following his appearance in 'Justice League', the character is to get his own film dubbed one of the most ambitious superhero films yet.
Online rumours believed a trailer for the upcoming DC Extended Universe production was to drop this weekend. But they turned out to be just that: rumours. In order to clarify the situation, director, James Wan took to Twitter:
Hey friends, I usually do my best to avoid internet noises (especially fabricated distractions) but a teaser-trailer going out this weekend was never in the books ? despite what some claim. It's not because of anyone or any nefarious reason holding it back ? IT'S ME. (1/3)

I am simply not ready yet to share. This movie is filled to the gills with VFX, and the process is as slow and laborious as a sea-slug! Yes, even shots for the trailers take forever to do, and I refuse to put out anything that might be construed as subpar. (2/3)

I know it seems like nothing much is brewing above the surface, but I can assure you, we're working nonstop under the waves ? ? (3/3)

Special effects vs Superheroes
After the fuss over Henry Cavill's moustache in 'Justice League' and comments about 'Black Panther', Warner Bros and James Wan have received the message loud and clear. All that means is a longer wait time until we see a trailer, but overall, a better quality film. It's worth mentioning that a large part of the film will take place underwater, so it's easy to understand why the VFX are taking so long.
