James Wan, the director of DC’s Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, has pushed back against the rumors regarding the film’s reshoots. Wan claims that only about three reshoots were required for the movie.
In an Empire Magazine interview (via Variety), Wan said there were only “seven or eight days” of reshoots. “Nothing for a movie of this size. It was just spread out because it’s so hard to get your actors back once you’ve finished the initial shoot,” Wan said.
Working on a film of such high caliber has taught Wan how to tune out unnecessary noise, which included the reports of Jason Momona wanting Amber Heard fired. “I’m a pretty private person,” Wan said. “I don’t get on social media and have fights, but it’s difficult because this narrative has emerged that is not the reality. The noise is fun to write about, and it gets clicks. But people don’t know the truth.”
