James Wan teases Aquaman and Mera's complicated relationship - Batman News

Quote:

“I really want to get the classic action-adventure-romance aspect through that, and I think that’s kind of fun,” Wan told Bustle.

“It starts off initially with them not quite clicking with each other,” Wan continued. “But then as the story progresses as they learn to try and work together, they get closer and closer. I think those stories are always such a great place for a filmmaker like myself to have fun with my actors.”

“I think that dynamic will be really interesting between the two. Amber’s character is super strong, she’s very powerful as well. You don’t wanna mess with her,” Wan explained. “I think Amber will bring that sense of strength, but at the same time, we also want someone who has a sort of feminine quality to her as well. She’s a bit of a contrast to Momoa, who’s more of a muscular machine almost.”

That’s all to come when Aquaman hits theaters in July 2018, but fans will get a sneak peek of Aquaman and Mera’s relationship when Justice League hits theaters next November.

The long-awaited comic book adaptation will be something of a test for Warner Bros and could change the tide, negatively or positively, for the entire future of the DC Extended Universe.

Aquaman director James Wan (The Conjuring) has been busy working on pre-production for his upcoming film while giving updates to his fans including scouting locations, his vision for the character, and the tone that he’s attempting to capture. With each update, the scope of the movie seems to expand in new and creative ways, while serving as a constant reminder that the Aquaman movie will soon be a reality.

We now have another bit of tantalizing news, via Production Weekly, regarding the pending production of Aquaman. The publication revealed, in its December 1st edition, that the working title for the upcoming DC Film is “Ahab”.

“Ahab” would seem to be an allusion to Captain Ahab, from the Moby Dick novel. Ahab is one of the most famous fictional sea captains in literary history. The tragic sailor developed an unhealthy, and ultimately suicidal, obsession with capturing the monstrous white whale, Moby Dick. The story tracks Ahab’s deterioration from his doomed mission, which resulted in the loss of a leg and more. It’s possible that “Ahab” is a direct allusion to Aquaman and his own personal mission that will fuel his own motivations in his solo film. Additionally, in the comics Aquaman has lost a limb during his adventures at sea as well; while it’s not clear if that will happen in the film, it’s an intriguing possibility to ponder.

There is still a lot unknown about the actual plot and cast of Aquaman. Jason Momoa, Amber Heard, and William Dafoe, have already been cast as Arthur Curry, Mera, and Vulko, respectively. However, while Wan has professed that the movie will have a “swashbuckling” feel of adventure, the actual story and film’s villain is still publicly up in the air. Particularly with a working title like “Ahab”, it would seem that there would be a threat or force – Black Manta would be a good fit – that would send Aquaman on an equally obsessive and vengeful mission. Hopefully, the working title is a signal that we’ll be getting another worthy villain to add to the DCEU and a sign that production on the movie may be closer than we’re currently anticipating.

Production in Erice, Italy& Castle of Venus- "Aquaman" movie set

I'm really thrilled to see Aquaman, James Wan being the director is great. We can see some awesome action sequences.

Jason will be a great Aquaman!!

Jason Momoa talks about how he identifies with #Aquaman.

Quote:

“How I identify with that is kind of being…a bit of an outcast. You see, he wasn’t really too accepted…I wasn’t too accepted. There weren’t any races where I grew up. There’s no Chinese, no Mexican, no Black. I grew up in Iowa. I graduated with like 100 people. I was born in Hawaii, so I would go see my father… just wasn’t accepted on the local side by some people because I wasn’t raised in Hawaii. I identify as being that outcast and not really fitting into two different worlds.”

'Aquaman' To Swim Into Theaters October 2018

The character has some of the sibling-rivalry elements found in Loki. That is Thor’s half brother, who has figured as the heavy in numerous Marvel films, in the form of Tom Hiddleston. ORM is at least as disagreeable and more powerful: In the comics, Aquaman’s human half brother is a rival for the throne of Atlantis and wreaks havoc on the high seas and beneath them when he doesn’t get his way. Amber Heard is playing Mera, Queen of Atlantis.

Wilson, who earlier this year starred in his second Conjuring film, opens Friday in The Hollow Point and plays the romantic rival to Michael Keaton’s Ray Kroc in the upcoming The Founder. CAA and Anonymous Content rep Wilson.

Aquaman first was seen in a cameo in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and plays a major role in the Zack Snyder-directed follow-up Justice League, in which he and other DC Universe heroes face off against the villain Steppenwolf.

Thank you for the news!
