Here’s an early peek at Jason Momoa as Aquaman looking more badass than ever in the new movie due a year from now. The “look” is quite different from the Aquaman we saw in this year’s Justice League.
Momoa’s father is Native Hawaiian.
Director James Wan (The Conjuring and Furious 7) who was born in Malaysia and is Malaysian Chinese says in a piece in Entertainment Weekly: “It’s going to look very different, it will feel very different — aesthetically, tonally, story-wise — it’s my own take. It’s a much more a traditional action-adventure quest movie.”
Unlike the Aquaman in DC Comics, Momoa will go shirtless much of the time. That look is also different from his appearance in the Justice League where his upper torso wore body-hugging armor.
The movie, a solo vehicle for the King of Atlantis, will go into Tim Curry’s backstory and how the half-Atlantean and half-human becomes a superhero. His version of Aquaman will include a plenty of scenes in fabled Atlantis, guarantees Wan, a Malaysian/Australian.
Aquaman, due to be released in December 2018, also features Nicole Kidman, Amber Heard, Willem Defoe and Dolph Lundgren.
