He said: 'I kind of don't want to give too much away but know this: The spirit that I'm going for is like a classic sort of swashbuckling action adventure, sort of high seas adventure story.

'It's ultimately a quest story in the spirit of Raiders Of The Lost Ark meets 'Romancing The Stone.'

Momoa (Aquaman) and Heard (Mera) will be making an appearance in Justice League and Wan believes this will give the world a hint of what their standalone movie will be like.

He told Entertainment Tonight: 'I think Amber and Jason Momoa, in their moments in Justice League, are going to give the rest of the world a flavour of what their own standalone movie could be.
