5 Things to Know About James Wan's Super Hero

While "Justice League" "introduces the reluctant hero Arthur Curry (Momoa) in the world of Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman, "Aquaman" sends him on his own solo hero while he finds his place between the surface world of his father, the lighthouse keeper Thomas Curry (Temuera Morrison) , and the underwater landscape of his mother, Atlantis Queen Atlanna (Nicole Kidman). Aquaman also has a large leaf in his half-brother King Orm (Patrick Wilson), whose evil plans threaten the entire Earth.

Wan goes down five things "Aqua" – the fans must know:

Aquaman is a fish out of the water. (Pun wanted.)

The last time we saw Arthur Curry, he surmounted the Batmobile and saved the world in "Justice League". And that's where we take it in terms of his grumpy personality, says Wan. "He does not really care what's going on around him necessarily, but there's a bigger appeal where he has to go and deal with him." Some of the fun of the movie is watching this guy who n & # 39; He does not feel like integrating into something that follows him because he has to do it, and see all the fun things that he does. "

Nicole Kidman is a clbady superhero mother.

Wan uses words like "incredible" and "beautiful" to describe her A-lister, whose queen – and mother Arthur does not. never knew – she is the emotional backbone and the driving force of "Aquaman." "She's not necessarily in the movie, but her presence is very strong, "says Wan." What happened to him fundamentally shapes Arthur's vision of life, and especially with the people of Atlantis. This is part of the reason why his character begins somewhat dissatisfied and grumpy about the world of which he is supposed to be the king, but who is not interested. "

Black Manta is not the main supervillain (but he's still great).

Black Manta (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) is the arch-villain for Aquaman of the comics, but he takes a back seat to Orm in "Aquaman", which shows how the hijacker David Kane becomes Manta and the prepare for stories later. "I do not think you can make an Aquaman movie and not touch Black Manta, fans would kill me," said Wan. Highlighting the warrior king Orm "felt organically correct" as the main leaf of Arthur. "Even though Atlantis is very advanced and technologically advanced, there is also a very old philosophy, almost archaic, for many things."
