As Warner Bros. gears up to plunge back into underwater adventures with DC superhero movie Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, the studio has forged a fitting collaboration that pairs the film’s fantasy vistas with creative imaging technology from Lightricks, creators of Videoleap, Photoleap, Facetune and other major visual content creation apps for mobile devices. Let’s take a look at this Lightricks Aquaman visual.
In the sequel to the studio’s 2018 billion-dollar crown jewel, Jason Momoa’s fish-whispering hero faces devastation when an ancient power is unleashed. Seeking to protect Atlantis, Aquaman is forced to join forces with an unlikely ally, his estranged brother Orm.
This next chapter presented the perfect opportunity for Warner Bros. to partner with Lightricks, empowering fans to transform their photos and videos into situations reflected in Aquaman’s underwater world. With a suite of themed filters and effects, users can create shareable content that spreads organic excitement as the film’s December 22 release nears.
Craft Your Own Atlantis Through Photo and Video Effects
With its popular mobile apps providing creative tools to everyday users, Lightricks was the ideal partner to help fans dive deeper into Aquaman’s underwater worlds ahead of the sequel release.
Whether you are a novice photographer or seasoned social media creator, these apps make it easy to achieve professional-grade editing through their user-friendly interfaces and presets.

If you’re an Aquaman fan, you can choose from a set of specially designed filters transforming your selfies into scenes reflecting the movie’s undersea-scapes. Now, this doesn’t mean you’ll instantly transform into a muscular Jason Momoa doppelganger, but bringing vibrant underwater style to your snapshots is definitely within reach.
With just a few taps, you can stylize photos and footage with themes of majestic Atlantis, bioluminescent sea creatures, swirling ocean vortexes, and more as the Lightricks Aquaman magic comes to life.
For those seeking to overhaul pictures without your face in, a scene editor converts your images into fantastical set pieces envisioned in the sunken hero kingdom. This takes Aquaman fan engagement to the next level, enabling you to manufacture your own movie shots or conjure fan fiction scenes in atmospheric underwater environments.

Fan Activations That Immerse
Do you remember when film promotion just meant trailers and posters? Well, it looks like those days are quickly becoming a thing of the past. Thanks to rapid advances in technology, studios now have a lot more tools at their disposal that allow them to get more creative when it comes to connecting with audiences ahead of a movie’s release.
Whether it’s guiding movie characters in video games like Fortnite, crafting metaverse homes reflecting favourite fantasies, or using apps to craft our own adventures with effects galore, we all have more power than ever to interact with the films we love. This certainly beats just watching trailers and checking out billboards passively.
It’s become a two-way street designed to get people genuinely engaged, not just hype the latest sequel hitting theatres. Active immersion builds levels of fan affinity that passive observation alone often struggles to maintain.
In Conclusion
While only time will tell how this inventive promo collaboration impacts Aquaman’s box office haul, it signals an interactive direction that allows fans to feel like part of the world. And that sense of active participation strengthens loyalty between franchises and their audiences, a bond that comic book movie franchises could definitely benefit from strengthening in the age of “superhero movie fatigue.”
