The screenwriter said that "The Trench" will be a horror film story stuck between the two "Aquaman" movies

As the most feared creature in Aquaman, the Trench Tribe has become the most memorable character in the film as soon as it debuted. Recently, some media reported that the timeline of the film has been determined and the story of the Trench Tribe will take place between Aquaman and Aquaman 2.

The news was revealed by David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick, the screenwriter of Aquaman and The Trench. He said that the story of the film will be "stuck between the two Aquaman films, but there are still details that need to be improved." From McGoldrick's words, The Trench will continue the story of Aquaman, so it will not tell the origin of the Trench people. In addition, some media said that the film will still be a horror film, and McGoldrick himself is also an accomplished horror film screenwriter. He has written scripts for films such as Orphan and The Conjuring 2 and 3.

Aquaman's real name is Arthur Curry. He is the illegitimate son of the queen of Atlantis, the underwater kingdom, and a lighthouse keeper on the American coast. He has half-human and half-Atlantean blood. He was later crowned as the king of Atlantis, in charge of the seven seas, and was given the symbol of Atlantis's royal power, the trident that can control the power of the sea and stir up the wind and waves. Later, he founded the Justice League with Superman, Batman and others and became one of the seven founders of the Justice League. Although "Aquaman" does not provide any new content, it integrates some old elements very well. "Aquaman" is obviously different from previous DC films. Some foreign media commented that James Wan brought color into the DC universe, and from then on Snyder's "darkness" is no longer the only style that dominates the entire DC universe. And this change in the DC universe seems to have given it the possibility of competing with the Marvel universe. At present, DC and Warner are actively developing "Aquaman 2".

Judging from the current situation, neither "Aquaman 2" nor "The Trench" are likely to start filming in the short term.
