The animated series “Aquaman: King of Atlantis” is a three-part story set after the events of the movie “Aquaman”. It is currently in pre-production, but the first pictorial photo reveals the style chosen by the creators.
The series was announced in January 2020 at the WarnerMedia Television Critics Association, following the success of the film Aquaman (2018). During this year’s edition of the event, the owners of HBO Max during their virtual presentation decided to present the visual art of the Aquaman: King of Atlantis miniseries . It was also published on social media.
The production style surely came as a surprise to many, as it differs from what fans have become used to with previous animated series based on DC comics. Aquaman: King of Atlantis is definitely more cartoon-like, and comparisons to the latest, not-so-warmly received reboot, ThunderCats Roar , have already appeared on the Internet ! from Cartoon Network. Such statements are not unfounded, as Victor Courtright, one of the directors and writers on the latest version of ThunderCats , is among the creators of the upcoming miniseries .
James Wan, the director of Aquaman , Michael Clear ( Annabelle Comes Home ), Rob Hackett ( Swamp Thing ), Sam Register ( Teen Titans Action! ), Who took over as executive producers, are also responsible for the upcoming animation about the ruler of Atlantis. Halpern-Graser ( Batman vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ) and Victor Courtright became the lead producers.
Aquaman: King of Atlantis will consist of three parts and will focus on the title character who, between the struggles with the wicked inhabitants of the land, the ancient evil and his stepbrother trying to overthrow him, will have to prove to both his subjects and himself that he is worthy of ruling trident. The series premiere later this year on HBO Max.
