There Were Multiple Scripts for Aquaman
In a peculiar twist during the movie-making process, the DC Extended Universe opted for an unusual approach when it came to crafting the script for this film.
Warner Bros. enlisted two distinct writers, namely Will Beall, known for "Gangster Squad," and Kurt Johnstad, a contributor to "300." Subsequently, they brought in David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick, a writer for "The Walking Dead," to take a shot at it. The final script emerged as a fresh revision by Beall, with Johnson-McGoldrick stepping in for rewrites.
