Wait, there's more Aquaman casting news! Nicole Kidman to play Aquamommy?!?
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Looks like The Hollywood Reporter's Aquaman sources are super loose-lipped today. First we got The Get Down's Yahya Abdul-Mateen II playing big baddie Black Manta and now it looks like James Wan might be nabbing noneother than Nicole Kidman to play Aquaman's mother, Atlanna.
Like just about every DC character there are a few different origins for Atlanna, the most recent being that Aquaman was the end product of a love affair between Atlanna, the Queen of Atlantis, and a wizard type called Atlan. I assume the similar names sparked the flame of love under the water. In pervious versions she was underwater royalty who left and had a child with a human lighthouse keeper.
THR is going with the lighthouse keeper origin, but I don't know if that's an assumption on their part or if they got that from their source. Either way, Nicole Kidman brings a lot of credibility to this project, which already has some kick-ass cast members like Willem Dafoe, Patrick Wilson and Amber Heard.
What do you folks think?
