Now, this would not be the fist time I have heard Nicole Kidman is in Aquaman 2, aka Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. However previously there was nothing to reliable to pin our mast to. This latest report, whilst covered by Variety is not actually from the trade. Instead they quote information that came from Hong Kong. I’ll paste the section below. However, you will also see at the end that Variety say they have confirmed Nicole Kidman is in Aquaman 2. I’d call that confirmation.
Hong Kong online news publication HK01 reported Sunday that Kidman and series director Lulu Wang (“The Farewell”) had creative differences that led to the disruption. Kidman, the outlet reported, will travel to Australia and then the U.K. to film a part on Warner Bros. film “Aquaman 2,” before possibly returning to the series. Kidman is reprising her role of Atlanna in “Aquaman 2,” Variety has confirmed.
I have only seen Aquaman once, and I must have forgotten it all because I thought Kidman’s character was killed? A quick check online tells me Kidman’s Atlanna actually survived which she never does in the comics. Interesting, and I remember her returning now. Would that not put Atlanna instead of Arthur ahead as the ruler of Atlantis? Either way, if you have made sure you did not kill of Kidman’s character, then getting her back for the sequel makes sense. I’d love to see Temuera Morrison back as Arthur’s dad as well, my guess is that we will.

I thought Aquaman was an ok movie, pretty to look at and kinda unique. The story was a bit meh, but maybe they can make improvements for the sequel? The world building was pretty solid and sometimes that’s a good foundation to focus more on the characters in a sequel.
Are you excited to know for definite that Nicole Kidman is in Aquaman 2. Are you excited to see what James Wan delivers in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom? As always, share any thoughts below.
