Aquaman director James Wan sinks 'ridiculous' villains rumor

Aquaman director James Wan is ready to sink an online rumor about the villainous character lineup for his stand-alone D.C. Comics movie.

Fans have figured the film could have a total of three villains for Arthur Curry (Jason Momoa) to face: Patrick Wilson as Aquaman’s half-brother Orm (a.k.a. the Ocean Master), Abdul-Mateen as Black Manta, and Dolph Lundgren as King Nereus. But Wan says that math is off.

“This is what I’ll say: I don’t have three villains,” Wan exclusively told EW. “I think that’s ridiculous! I would never go into an origin movie with three villains. We don’t even know the main character let alone the world and its antagonist. I believe in taking baby steps.”

So … maybe two villains then?

“I want to introduce Arthur Curry in a much more emotional and powerful way, and introduce Mera played by Amber Heard, and of course there’s Nicole Kidman and Temuera Morrison playing his parents,” the Furious 7 director added. “We know Black Manta is in there, but I will say this: Patrick Wilson is the main antagonist in this film. I wouldn’t necessarily say ‘villain,’ but he’s the antagonist.”

And there you have it. It’s that’s a relief that Wan is keeping the film focused on mainly a single vill … antagonist, rather than creating, say, a Spider-Man 3-type situation in an origin movie.

My guess is Drago's a grunt and Black Manta is a long game scenario to build for the future. If Ocean Master is the antagonist.

E everysingletime looks like you made it

Lol ha ha ha

 

[Master Zik]

people have their opinions and I'll never judge them for it. But, First Class and DOFP were both

Didn't you also like BvS?

That says enough

I liked MoS and JL too. Shoot me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah but BvS is the worst of the bunch.

The more I think it isn't all that better than Fan4stic.

Come on brah! You talking crazy now.

 

[Fresh Like Will]

BVS has its problems, but I can't think of a single thing I like from Fant4stic, but man do I love the opening Batman scene in BVS when Bats rescues the hostages and the cops are spooked, every confrontation with Supes and Batman, the epic score, the beautiful cinematography, the final battle (especially when WW shows up), and the WAREHOUSE SCENE.

You don't have to like BVS, but Fant4stic? Fant4stic is in a league of its own. My favorite part was when the credits rolled. I wouldn't play that movie for my worst enemy. That would be going too far.

Lol @ JL having better audience score than Last Jedi

 

[paulwest1985]

Damn, those SW fans are trashing TLJ. I'm still gonna see it tomorrow.

 

[everysingletime]

SW 45 million Thursday. Probably going to F around and reach that 200 mil domestic mark this weekend

Apples and oranges.

I doubt it. It doesn't look like it's getting good word of mouth. But it is possible it could reach that much at the end of the weekend.

 

[everysingletime]

Seems like the new SW movie split old and new fans

I'm probably going to like the movie

I disliked TFA and liked Rogue One. I hope I like this one.

 

[everysingletime]

I disliked TFA and liked Rogue One. I hope I like this one.

I'm the opposite LOL

I enjoyed TFA and I hated Rogue 1. There was a point in Rogue 1 where I fell asleep. My cousins were raving about the movie afterwards and I didn't get it. From what I heard, the movie takes more after TFA so I'm already encouraged.

I'm in the same boat as you and enjoyed TLJ. A lot of the moments that people felt were cringey or too Disney just didn't feel that way to me while viewing it. I was totally enamored with what was going on.

 

[KingdomFlatbush]

Man I got hardcore SW fans telling me TLJ was low-key trash

Staying out of the SW thread to avoid spoilers

Apples and oranges.

This sounds like pure deflection and you know it

The apples and oranges argument is trash. "THINGS HAVE DIFFERENCES AND THEREFORE CANNOT BE COMPARED WITH ONE ANOTHER"

 

[kickvicisous]

Is their a worst comic/superhero movie than Fan4stic, serious question .

Even Catwoman was better than that ****

 

[rfx45]

really surprised how split people are for TLJ

I know RT isn't everything but at 93%, you'd think it'll be majority positive

They tell us Rey isn't anything special. I think it's misdirection based on who tells her that and the motives behind it. Luke isn't just "killed off" but his arc does end and it serves purpose. I think people wanted OP Jedi Luke to just go HAM on everything for the next two movies or something. The line at the end from Leia sums it up perfectly IMO; purpose and peace.

I do think it would have been nice to see him be OP for a sec like Vader in R1
