A few weeks ago rumours skittled about suggesting we’d get our first look at James Wan’s “Aquaman” – with Jason Momoa in the title role – at WonderCon.
Well, WonderCon has now been and gone, and unfortunately for paying punters, a trailer did not drop over the weekend.
Thing is, it was never going to. According to Wan, he’s simply not ready to release a trailer for the film – and sounds like he’s got our own best interests in mind by not getting one out there yet.
In a series of tweets, the “Saw” director suggested that the visual effects just aren’t there yet and until they’re mastered, we won’t be seeing a trailer. In other words, there’s nothing wicked going on, the director just wants the film to be it’s best – and it’s trailer – before he lets us get a glimpse of what lies ahead.
Plenty of time, folks, “Aquaman” isn’t due out until November.
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)
