Zack Snyder didn't plan to direct further installments, anyway.


* WinTheCrowd: Momoa as Aquaman is viewed as utterly inspired casting, combined with James Wan as an exciting directorial choice with a far better track record with critics than Zack Snyder and an impressive supporting cast that seem genuinely enthusiastic about the film. So there is a lot of hope for the movie, despite (or especially after) the ''Justice League'' debacle. It helps too that it hasn't been under the same amount of scrutiny (and constant reports of TroubledProduction) as the other DCEU films.

* FriendlyFandoms: While some people have tried to turn it into the [[FandomRivalry usual rivalry]], fans excited for this film are also excited for and have gotten along well with fans of[[Film/BlackPanther2018]] due to both being the first films in the MCU and DCEU with non-white leads and directors, giving the superhero genre some much needed diversity.

** Yahya Abdul-Mateen II playing Black Manta, one of the first black supervillains, is amusing given that he auditioned for a role in ''Film/BlackPanther'' prior to being cast here.

** Speaking of Dafoe as Vulko, it seems that the DCEU has become a haven of actors from the ''Film/SpiderManTrilogy'' after Creator/JKSimmons (DaEditor J. Jonah Jameson) as Commissioner Gordon and Creator/JoeManganiello (JerkJock Eugene "Flash" Thompson) as Deathstroke. Dafoe played [[ComicBook/NormanOsborn Norman Osborn / the Green Goblin]] in said trilogy.
