James Wan Was Going To Make His Trench Movie A Black Manta Spinoff

What's worse than a canceled spinoff? Probably a lot of things, to be honest. It's pretty tame in the grand scheme of things. But among them is the insult to injury method of tragically finding out about a spinoff after its cancelation. It's one thing to get hopes up and have them dashed, but it's arguably even more devastating to find out about a project's existence as well as its demise in one fell swoop. That's what just happened with regards to Black Manta from James Wan's 2018 surprise hit Aquaman.
