In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter a few months after Aquaman‘s billion-dollar box office surprise, producer Peter Safran revealed some illuminating details about his plans for The Trench. Specifically, he was hoping to make and release the movie before Aquaman 2, which is expected to hit theaters on December 16th, 2022. Indeed, that’s a pretty short window of time, but if he got his way, The Trench spin-off would take pick up after the events in the first Aquaman movie but before we returned for the much-anticipated sequel. Of course, that’s certainly subject to change — most notably with the announced movie not scheduled to start production anytime soon and especially with the expectedly very CG-heavy blockbuster currently without a release date. In any case, based on what’s been publicized about The Trench spin-off so far, this is what the producers are aiming for with this movie.
