Justice League may not have been the greatest introduction to Jason Momoa’s Aquaman, but hopefully when his solo film arrives, it’ll be more Wonder Woman than Batman vs Superman. The first poster for the movie has now arrived, which you can take a look at below.
We’ve been promised the first trailer this weekend, to coincide with the film’s panel at San Diego Comic-Con. It’ll be interested to see what it looks like (hopefully less cartoony than Justice League’s underwater world).
Here’s the synopsis: ‘Directed by James Wan (“The Conjuring” films, “Furious 7”) and starring Jason Momoa in the title role, AQUAMAN also stars Amber Heard (“Justice League,” “Magic Mike XXL”) as Mera; Oscar nominee Willem Dafoe (“Platoon,” “Spider-Man 2”) as Vulko; Temuera Morrison (“Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones,” “Green Lantern”) as Tom Curry; Dolph Lundgren (“The Expendables” films) as Nereus; Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (upcoming “Baywatch,” Netflix’s “The Get Down”) as Black Manta; with Patrick Wilson (“The Conjuring” films, “Watchmen”) as Orm/Ocean Master; and Oscar winner Nicole Kidman (“The Hours,” “Lion”) as Atlanna.’
The film will arrive in cinemas in December. The poster is below, along with a close-up of Jason Momoa to swoon over. [Read more…]
