Looks like they’re making him a dad, which is probably even better.
If it looks good it probably is…
:o
To those who say the plot looks Black Pantherish, I think the plot is actually going to borrow heavily from Throne of Atlantis, which was written by Geoff Johns, like the movie.
Whatever. My point is the same, good-looking people can’t just rely on their looks. Same with Gal Gadot. Her pretty face might have had something to do with her getting hired in the first place, but it’s her on-screen talent that has had me liking wonder woman in the movie and Justice League.
Same with Momoa, he did a good job as that big horse guy in GOT and again as aquaman. These days, it’s all about money. If the people with the money didn’t think he was any good, they’d have scuttled this project.
Possibly true. As said, he does present pretty well in the trailer.
GoT should have allowed him to do more, possibly.
Yeah, looking it up, for all people talk about him in Game of Thrones he was only in the first two seasons. If it’s still being talked about he must have done something right.
Waterkanda Forever!
Agreed and FWIW that story predates Black Panther. Hell, palace intrigue stories of stolen thrones predate everything.
Also Aquaman with a chip on his shoulder is from the comics. There have been several incarcerations of the character over the years.
To me it looks fun, exciting and visually interesting.
Mamoa was is Stargate Atlantis, if anyone remembers that. I enjoyed him in that role. I think he can carry a film. Frankly, he and Gal Godot should be looking to get out of DC altogether, but I imagine they’re locked in.
Wonder Woman made Gadot a star and is one of the most highly acclaimed movies of the genre. I’m sure that however her career goes, she won’t be damaged by her Wonder Woman obligations.
For that matter, Jason Momoa will be fine too. I don’t know the details of their contracts, but I doubt that either of them, or any of the big stars in the series, are slated for nearly as many movies as Robert Downey Jr., etc. They’ll have plenty of opportunity to do other work.
That red hair is distractingly bad. Especially given the context, it looks like amateur Little Mermaid cosplay.
Goddamnit!!! I hate the cheese-ball Shazam!!! Alex Ross (genuflect) gave us the One Trueacceptable portrayal of Captain Marvel!!! That hairdo looks like a half-assed homage to the 70’s kiddie show! Light-hearted doesn’t have to mean stupid. I’m DC will get their dark and gritty on once Black Adam arrives.
Just as long as they have a scene like this. (YouTube link.) 
To quote Raj, Aquaman is lame. Here’s a superhero that’s painfully easy to avoid: stay out of the freaking water.
To quote a comic-book writer who wrote both Batman and the inhumanly swift and strong Justice Leaguer who can see in the dark and survive the crushing pressures of the ocean depths: “if you take Aquaman and dump him in the middle of Gotham, and leave him completely on his own, he’ll do fine. If you take Batman, drop him in the middle of the Atlantic with nothing but the cape on his back, chances are you’ll never hear from him again . . . particularly if it’s shark-infested waters.”
Entourage ruined Aquaman for me. I just can’t stop laughing whenever I see the word.
…yeah that looks cool 
Shazam looks awesome too. No more grim-dark DC. These are the kinda movies I want to see.
You know nothing Sage Rat. Women are sick to death of the man saves helpless woman trope. We are all about self-saving princesses these days. Precisely what was so hot about the Drogo/Danaerys story line was the way he made room for her to grow into her leadership abilities. His respect for her was incredibly hot.
And yes, Jason Momoa in tight pants = worth the ticket price. But he’s not a fast talking quip delivery system, which is what I think most comic book moviegoers want. He’s an actual emotional actor, which may not go over too well with them.
I so agree with this. That was truly awful. They couldn’t put in a few low lights? Or at least use a color found in nature?
Fun fact: The facial features of the original Captain Marvel was based on a young James Stewart. That picture looks like James Stewart on steroids.
