With Aquaman 2 coming soon, the director addresses rumors of a Batman cameo.In a recent interview with Empire, James Wan, director of the upcoming Aquaman sequel, shot down rumors of a Batman appearance. Whether or not Ben Affleck’s Batman would return for a short cameo was up in the air, with different outlets and fans speculating that Affleck was on set a few times. The rumors went unconfirmed for a period of time, but Wan recently spoke on them, answering if the vigilante would make an appearance: “Probably not. All I’ll say is that those scenes were just to have something in the bank in case we needed to explain time continuity if we came out [before The Flash].”The concern for continuity confusion makes sense; with the myriad of separate Batman interpretations, actors and timelines, the decision to nix Affleck from Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is a safe one. Furthermore, with the addition of The Flash recently, audiences are more likely to continue tuning into the universe if there’s less confusing moving parts. That being said, Aquaman 2 hasn’t necessarily been smooth sailing for the filmmakers and actors involved. Amber Heard’s return as Mera was met with severe backlash following her incredibly public trial against ex-husband Johnny Depp; allegations of on-set inappropriate behavior and public intoxication by Jason Momoa were also thrown around.RELATED: Aquaman 2 Director Defends Decision to Reduce Amber Heard’s Role
