Aquaman director James Wan is "on the mend" after a recent visit to the emergency room resulted in an extended stay in the hospital.

On Thursday, Wan's Instagram story featured a photo of the 46-year-old filmmaker in a hospital bed with an IV in his arm. Details of his exact health issue were not disclosed.

"It has been an extremely rough and scary couple of days and nights," a caption began.

The caption continued, "You never want to rush to ER in the middle of the night and then have to stay in the hospital. Cedars Sinai is truly the best!! The best doctors, nurses, technicians, just the most wonderful people. James is safe now and on the mend."

The original post is not longer available on Wan's Instagram, but fan accounts shared screenshots of it on Twitter.

Reps for Wan did not immediately respond to EW's request for further information.

The director is currently working on Warner Bros.' Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom starring Jason Momoa as the titular DC superhero, which is supposed to hit theaters Dec. 20.
