James Wan: 'Aquaman' a new take on DC superheroes

According to the film's producer, Peter Safran, Wan expressed his hope to bring "a departure from what had become the DC brand of superhero" at the very beginning when Warner Brothers and DC gave him the Aquaman story.

As Wan explained at this year's San Diego Comic Convention in July, he would like "to create characters that people can relate to, and that they like, and that they, therefore, want to go along with them on this journey."

A multifaceted superhero can be expected in the new film, which is different from the simply comedic character shown in the previous films, noted the film's helmer.
