Inspired by the Silver Age
“Like the first movie, this one leads into the Ray Harryhausen sort of spirit even more,” Wan said. “[There are] shades of Jules Verne in this as well. And, as you can see in the trailer, aesthetically, I’m leaning pretty heavily into the Silver Age comic books. Aquaman of the 1960s. Silver Age Aquaman. So a lot of the designs in this film are very retro feeling. The spirit and the tone are very retro.”
