Aquaman Movie Finds Its Ocean Master
Aquaman has found his prey in the Ocean Master. Deadline has a report on who will portray the villain in the upcoming planned Aquaman movie. Per the report, actor Patrick Wilson will portray the role of Aquaman’s brother, Orm, aka the Ocean Master.
Wilson now joins the cast opposite Jason Momoa as Aquaman aka Arthur Curry, Willem Dafoe as Vulko and Amber Heard as Mera. This wouldn’t be Wilson’s first role in a comic book film. He portrayed Nite-Owl in 2009’s Watchmen, which was directed by Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice filmmaker Zack Snyder. Also, he was actually the voice of the President in the Batman v Superman film as well.
Orm and Aquaman have been rivals since Orm first debuted in the 1960s. He frequently tries to usurp the throne of Atlantis from his brother, Aquaman. Wilson has failed to really take off as a big star since he came on the scene a little over 10 years ago. However, this role might be a good fit for him instead of casting him in the lead.
James Wan is set to direct the Aquaman movie. The film arrives on October 5, 2018.
