The process of filming underwater has advanced drastically over the past decade. Massive blockbusters from Avatar: The Way of Water to Black Panther: Wakanda Forever have refined the techniques available to visual artists to capture action that’s meant to take place underwater. And those visual tricks can only benefit such upcoming DC movies as the anticipated sequel Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. So many of those movies can trace their techniques back to Zack Snyder’s work on Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which had to capture Jason Momoa underwater when they gave fans the first look at Arthur Curry. And according to Snyder, it was a learning process, for sure.
