Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom will showcase some major changes to the titular hero’s world, including the birth of his son, Arthur Jr.Speaking to ComicBook, director James Wan revealed that most of the baby storyline is pulled directly from the comics. “Baby boy. Yes. It’s their son, Arthur Jr. Yes, and that’s basically taken straight from the comic book,” the filmmaker explained. “The reason why we went down this path is because it felt like the natural extension of the first movie. I kept describing Aquaman II as the part B of the first movie, and so, a lot of the character arc and hero’s journey that we had set up in the first film gets to grow. They grow and expand in the second one, and obviously, seeing, at the end of the first movie we see Arthur defeating his brother to become the king of Atlantis.”In the comics, Arthur Jr. was killed by Black Manta, who kidnapped and placed the child inside a sphere, slowly filling it with air, until he suffocated to death. The tragedy impacted Arthur and Mera’s relationship and subsequently affected Atlantis. While this narrative could have potential implications for the Aquaman sequel, the specific source of Arthur Jr.’s story remains unknown. Since Arthur and Mera have a daughter, Andy Curry, in more recent Aquaman comic arcs, elements from her storyline could influence Arthur Jr.’s journey in the film.
