Aquaman: Secrets of the Deep is an upcoming American superhero film based on the DC Comics character Aquaman. Produced by DC Studios and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, it is the fifth installment in the DC Cinematic Universe (DCCU). Directed by Karyn Kusama and written by David Kajganich, the film explores new corners of the underwater kingdoms and introduces darker elements of Atlantean lore.
Following the events of Green Lantern: Dominion, the film is expected to delve into ancient sea myths, political unrest within Atlantis, and the emergence of a lost civilization that may hold the key to Earth’s elemental balance.
Development of the project began following the announcement of the DCCU’s Chapter One: Crisis slate in January 2025. Kusama was announced as director in mid-2026, with Kajganich confirmed as screenwriter shortly after. The film aims to blend mythic horror with high-stakes geopolitical drama beneath the ocean’s surface.
Aquaman: Secrets of the Deep is scheduled to be released in the United States on November 10, 2028.
