Today we are going to talk about upcoming hollywood, DC film Aquaman’s True Mission
If it feels like we've been waiting years for Aquaman to take centre stage in Warner
Bros' DC Extended Universe, it's because we have
Game of Thrones' Khal Drogo or Jason Momoa, as he is sometimes known was hotly tipped
for the role of Arthur Curry for some time before Warner let the cat out of the bag with
its big Justice League announcements back in October 2014
The film reveals the origin story of half-human, half Atlantean Arthur Curry and takes him
on the journey of his lifetime one that will not only force him to face who he really is,
but to discover if he is worthy of who he was born to be…a king
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Warner Bros' film chairman Toby Emmerich promised that
Aquaman is going to be "fresh and different" and "badass", too
Now Momoa is finally up for the Aquaman solo film
Make way for the King of the Seven Seas.The teaser promises a classic origin for Arthur
Curry as well as some big fight scenes under the sea
Momoa claims that he was secretly cast as Aquaman five years ago, but they've kept him
waiting for a solo movie until Justice League's traditional trinity of Superman, Wonder Woman
and Batman had a go at the bat.
Filming began in early May 2017…
It looks as though Aquaman will be sticking closely to the traditional origin of Arthur
Curry as the son of lighthouse keeper Thomas Curry and the Atlantean Queen Atlanna, who
he finds washed ashore on a stormy night and falls in love with
Eventually the queen returns to the sea, leaving Thomas to raise their son
Arthur Curry grows up to discover that he can breathe underwater and has superhuman
strength and endurance which allow him to survive at extreme depths
He can also communicate with and command aquatic life a power that has been the butt of jokes
for decades
It looks like the film will fill in some of the story between kid Aquaman and the adult
version
According to Wan, that's his mentor Nuidis Vulko sparring with him on the beach
We only hope that he was given written permission from his dad to get that massive forearm tattoo
He definitely reminds us of the newer version of Aqualad in the comics
We see Arthur and Mera being chased by an army of scary fish-like people
These are the relatively new Aquaman foes known as 'The Trench', and this confirms a
longstanding rumour that they would appear in the movie.
We already have Jason Momoa, but who will be joining him in his underwater kingdom?
Amber Heard's Mera debuted alongside Aquaman in Justice League
She's an underwater princess from another dimension who is usually portrayed as our
titular hero's partner or wife,and it sounds like she is close to the queen although considering
they only just met in Justice League, that might be jumping the gun at this point
Watchmen's Patrick Wilson will be Orm Marius, aka Ocean Master, Aquaman's jealous younger
half-brother who has an eye on the throne of Atlantis
The Greatest Showman's Yahya Abdul-Mateen II will play Black Manta, a human villain
with a high-tech wetsuit and the weirdest-looking helmet ever
Wan has described Black Manta as "part mercenary but full-time pirate", which is a spot-on
description of the comic-book character
A third villain was later confirmed, with the legendary Dolph Lundgren cast as Nereus
He's the king of Xebel, the secret underwater kingdom which Mera is also from
We’ll see Atlantis Declares War on ‘Surface World’ in the movie
So we've already gathered that Atlanteans are stronger and more magical than standard
humans, but they must be really tough if Mera and Arthur can jump out of airplanes without
parachutes
Or could this be a shocking twist ending for Aquaman?
Hold your breath, because this is going to be very interesting.
