Ever sinceAquaman started productionearlier this month, we’ve gotten a few glimpses from the set, but these images haven’t shown off too much. Today we have our first look at both Aquaman (Jason Momoa) and Mera (Amber Heard) together, in full costume. This marks the first time we have seen both Momoa and Heard shooting scenes at the same time.
This photo surfaced on theAmber Heard ItaliaTwitter page, as filming continues in Australia. Most recently, newAquaman set videosrevealed some of the massive water tanks being used for some of the aquatic scenes inAquaman, along with a glimpse atAquaman’s hometown of Amnesty Bay. The fishing village set at The Spit, near Palazzo Versace, featured a number of shipping containers that are dressed up as shops such as the Amnesty Bay Fish Co-Op and a shop signed Sunken Galleon, which are being built for the six-month shoot. It appears that this new photo was taken on one of the Amnesty Bay sets, but that has not been confirmed.
While we don’t get to see them in this photo, theAquamancast also includes Willem Dafoe as Nuidis Vulko, Temuera Morrison as Tom Curry, Dolph Lundgren as King Nereus, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Black Manta with Patrick Wilson as Ocean Master Orm and Oscar winner Nicole Kidman as Atlanna. The latest additions to the cast werePower Rangersstar Ludi Lin, who came aboard last week to play Murk, leader of the Men-At-War soldiers, and Otis Dhanji, who will be making his feature film debut as theYoung Arthur Curry. It isn’t known if there are more characters who have yet to be cast, asAquamancontinues filming.
We reported in December that thisAquamanmovie is also eyeing a fall 2017Italy shoot, with production beginning sometime in September in the town of Erice, on the Italian island of Sicily. It seems likely that this shoot may happen in early September, with this location serving as the last leg of the production, but that hasn’t been confirmed. Still, with a lengthy five-month shoot ahead, more about about this superhero adventure is sure to surface. Now that our first look at Jason Momoa and Amber Heard on the set has been unveiled, it remains to be seen if the studio will release the first official image of these actors in costume as they appear in this particularJustice Leaguespin-off.
This set photo arrives just a few days after director James Wan unveiled the first look atAmber Heardas Mera, to commemorate her first day on set. James Wan is directingAquamanfrom a script by Will Beall, based on a story the director came up with alongside DC Films president Geoff Johns.
