The first DCEU movie to earn more than $1 billion globally is Aquaman by James Wan. It is king for a variety of reasons, including crab people, eerie animals in the deep, and Atlanteans riding sharks and sea horses! Shazam! also touched on the fun factor, but in Aquaman, jaw-dropping amazing effects adorn nearly every frame.
The first scene with Arthur Curry (Jason Momoa) sets the tone for the 1980s action camp the rest of the film would follow. Aquaman contains a hot guy, one-liners, and action punctuated by action in a manner that is a full tribute to action films from the 1980s.
In the film, which is set shortly after Justice League, Arthur struggles to accept his obligations to both Atlantis and the inhabitants of terrestrial Earth.
