Aquaman: Director James Wan Interview
438Aquaman: Director James Wan Interview
With Aquaman opening in North American theaters this weekend, I recently sat down with director James Wan to talk about the movie. During the wide-ranging conversation, Wan talked about how this isn’t another dark DC movie, what he learned from the test screening process, what kind of food he ate to keep up his strength (it’s not just the actors that have to eat healthy), and a lot more.
As most of you know, Aquaman charts the origin story of the titular character (Jason Momoa), a man born from a human lighthouse keeper (Temuera Morrison) and a queen of Atlantis (Nicole Kidman) who straddles both worlds. In the film, Momoa’s Arthur Curry must save the surface world when his half-brother Orm (Patrick Wilson) seeks to wage war on the humans and assert Atlantean dominance once and for all. Arthur is aided in his quest by Mera (Amber Heard), a warrior and daughter of King Nereus (Dolph Lundgren) who was raised by Queen Atlanna and groomed to become Queen herself.
Aquaman also stars Willem Dafoe as Vulko, Temuera Morrison as Tom Curry, and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Black Manta.
