And will reference the DC ensemble film.

Aquaman will take place after the events of Justice League.

In an interview with CinemaBlend, executive producer Charles Roven confirmed the solo film will contain story elements tied to the superhero team-up movie. "There will be some reference of something that preceded Aquaman that will be in Aquaman," Roven said. "I believe that is the intention."

Unlike the upcoming Wonder Woman movie (read IGN's review), which is set decades before the Justice League is formed, Aquaman will reference the events of Justice League in some capacity. "James [Wan] definitely knows where he's going with [Aquaman], and that movie takes place in a world where Justice League happened, and Man of Steel happened," Roven said.

Justice League hits theaters on November 17, while Aquaman will open in theaters on December 21, 2018.

Earlier this year, Aquaman star Jason Momoa revealed the aquatic hero "doesn't know how to handle his powers" in the solo movie. For more on the film, which will explore the "hate-turned-love" dynamic between Momoa's Aquaman and Amber Heard's Mera, check out the film's official logo and this new photo of Mera.
