Action icon Dolph Lundgren also recently joined the cast as King Nereus, the leader of a rival colony of Atlanteans called Xebel who wants to murder Aquaman and seize Mera, Aquaman's Queen.

Aquaman will open in theaters on December 21, 2018. According to Momoa, Aquaman hasn't yet learned to handle his powers in the movie. Before his solo debut as the aquatic hero, Momoa will portray Aquaman in Justice League, which opens on November 17.
