Nicole Kidman Eyes ‘AQUAMAN’

Nicole Kidman is eyeing to play Atlanna in Warner Bros. highly anticipated AQUAMAN!

Kidman joins the previously announced Jason Momoa, Amber Heard, Patrick Wilson and Willem Dafoe. In addition, it’s been announced that The Get Down star Yahya Abdul-Mateen II has joined the DC Comics adaption as the villainous Black Manta.

Aquaman is set to feature the return of Momoa in the title role. He made a brief debut as the title in Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. He’s expected to play a larger role in the fourth coming Justice League on November 17. The latter film is also expected to introduce Heard as Mera, Queen of Atlantis.

Atlanna made her comic book debut in a flashback tale in 1959’s Adventure Comics #260. Initially, Atlanna– an Atlantean who fell in love with a human, Tom Curry– was depicted as having died before Aquaman came into prominence as a hero. In the modern New 52 continuity, however, Atlanna is a significantly more prominent character and faked her death in an effort to escape Atlantis’ oppressive rule.

Aquaman begins production in April.
