Stuart Conover is an author, blogger, and all around geek. ‘Justice League – Part One’ directed by Zack Snyder is slated to open on November 17, 2017, while ‘Aquaman’ directed by James Wan will swim into theaters on July 27, 2018. If this proves true and is an extended flashback, I suspect that Dafoe will be one of these ancient Atlanteans.Īre you looking forward to seeing Willem Dafoe jumping ships from Marvel to DC when ‘Justice League: Part One’ is released?

It’s not a good look for an amphibious hero. Like, his cheeks are all puffy as if he were chilling on the bottom of the pool at his parents’ house. In Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Aquaman’s cameo was marred by the fact that Jason Momoa was very, very clearly holding his breath in a water tank. Also ahead are details on how part of the film will be shot but as it ties directly into this rumor we’ll put that down below as well.įirst up, we’ve learned that since no one was happy with how Jason Momoa looked in ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’ (most agree he seemed to be holding his breath in a tank of water), rumor has it that we’ll see all of the underwater sequences being shot in a different way.
