Aquaman was screened today to a group of people and we got a lot of info from them. The source is cited at the end of the article.

Aquaman is set after Justice League. Steppenwolf’s defeat is specifically mentioned in the movie. Aquaman does have his classic look in the movie. Gold tunic, green pants and gauntlets.

On Black Manta,

It’s close to the comic. He’s a secondary villain in the movie. His dad is killed by Arthur early and then he’s Manta when Arthur and Mera are on land

The Trench=Scary

Orm is awesome & very comic accurate.

Graham McTavish is playing King Atlan in Aquaman.

Atlantis’ design looks like a cross between Final Fantasy and the Star Wars Prequels.

What about Nicole Kidman’s Queen Atlanta?

She’s not in it much.But she tells Aquaman’s dad that she’ll come back when it’s sunset on the docks so he goes to the docks every day hoping she’ll come back.

No water bubbles in this movie. They just speak normally underwater. We already learned that earlier from James Wan.

Aquaman communicates with marine life in the movie.

What about the villain?

Ocean Master, Orm, was described to me as being a lot like Loki in the Thor movies.

Most importantly, What about Mera?

She’s with Aquaman for most of the movie. They go on a small Indiana Jones style quest together on the surface.

And King Nereus?

He sides with Orm for most of the movie.

From Comicbook Debate,

On how James Wan’s directing in Aquaman compares to Zack Snyder, David Ayer, Patty Jenkins and Joss Whedon,

“You can definitely tell it’s Wan’s style. From the very first scene; the angle of the camera, the scenery, the background, you can tell it came from a horror director. I was like..that’s classic. The very first scene/shot!!!!”

On the action of the film, “James Wan killed it with the action!!!”

Aquaman is Star Wars underwater, with a love-story serving as the backbone
