a look at Easter eggs cameos and other
details that likely eluded you in 2018
Aquaman
proceed with caution if you haven’t seen
the movie yet
number 10 similarities to the new 52
Aquaman Aquaman has developed a
reputation as one of DCs goofier heroes
but writer Geoff Johns strive to make
the character more complex with the new
52 relaunch in 2011 Jones also worked on
the story for this 2018 film which
shares more than a few elements in
common with his comic contributions your
half-brother king arm is about to
declare war on the surface world in both
incarnations half Atlantean Arthur curry
is torn between the surface world and
taking his rightful place as king of
Atlantis receiving backup from Mara
Arthur faces several villains including
a race of underwater creatures called
the trench and Black Manta who blames
Arthur additionally clashes with his
half-brother arm
also known as ocean master for the
throne of Atlantis number 9 Jason Momoa
is real-life hero Jason Momoa plays the
titular hero but he got to shared the
screen with his personal hero in this
film Arthur’s father Thomas Curry is
played by Tim where Morrison who you
might recognize as Jango Fett and by
extension the clone troopers in the Star
Wars prequels Momoa meanwhile best knew
of Morrison through his performance in
Once Were Warriors which reportedly
inspired him while playing Khal Drogo on
Game of Thrones
their royal eyeness tell him everything
why don’t you Momoa thus made a push for
morrison to play his father and totally
geeked out upon meeting his idol it’s no
wonder why Momoa and Morrison shares
such a natural bond in Aquaman
immediately convincing the audience that
their father and son number 8 Atlanteans
no longer talk in bubbles the time has
come for us to rise again Amber Heard
had an extended cameo as Mara in Justice
League where she persuaded Arthur to
join the fight against Steppenwolf it
would have been her responsibility to
follow that monster to the surface and
stop it now it’s yours in order to
communicate with him underwater though
she engulfs them both inside a bubble
director James Wan felt the filmmakers
were overthinking the logistics of
Atlantis which is why no air bubbles are
used to get dialogue across an Aquaman
rather people simply talk to each other
while submerged in water as if they’re
on land this was probably a wise
creative choice as it might have been
distracting if the Atlanteans had to
make a bubble every time somebody needed
to get a word in especially in the midst
of battle
what could be greater than a king number
seven Djimon Hounsou as the fisherman
king
if you thought Djimon Hounsou was
unrecognisable in guardians of the
galaxy try to spot him in Aquaman who
once who plays the fisherman King who’s
reportedly brought to life through a mix
of practical makeup effects and CGI what
makes this casting choice so interesting
is that it’s not Hoon Sue’s only role in
the DC extended universe he also plays
the wizard Shazam who grants his powers
to Billy Batson in Shazam say my name so
my powers may flow through you but I
for real okay Shazam we can’t help but
wonder if hunter will be restricted to
playing two DC characters or if his
presence will become a running gag for
the DC EU similar to John Ratzenberger
number six loved craft influences being
his first superhero film James Wan
ventured into uncharted waters with
Aquaman although traces of his horror
roots are still present
shortly after Arthur’s parents meet a
copy of the Dunwich horror by HP
Lovecraft can be found underneath a snow
globe Juan actually described the
inhabitants of the trench as fun sea
creatures that Lovecraft would love you
can also definitely see how a cosmic
entity like Cthulhu might have inspired
some of the film’s giant sea creatures
the Dunwich horror notably revolves
around two brothers one of whom appears
more mortal than the other sounds a bit
like half brothers Arthur and orme who
shared the same mother but come from
it would bring destruction number five
oh look it’s Adam from sock you say that
Thank You Milly
Leigh Whannell not only played Adams
Stan hight in the original saw but also
co-wrote the screenplay with director
James Wan well now and Wan have since
collaborated on several other projects
including the insidious movies when Al
makes a blink and you’ll miss a cameo in
Aquaman as well playing the pilot who
gives Arthur and Mira a lift to the
Sahara Desert
when Elle’s character is thrown for a
loop when Marik jumps out of the cargo
plane without a parachute and Arthur
follows of course these two Atlanteans
both have superhuman strength to break
the fall otherwise it would have been
game over number four enter Steven shin
I’ll be seeing you again where huh where
will you be seeing me again like in
general
I’ll seat like the next time you do
something bad I’ll be there barely six
months after appearing as agent Jimmy
woo in ant-man and the wasp actor
Randall Park pops up as dr. Steven shin
in Aquaman created by Geoff Johns and
Ivan rice this marine biologist is a
friend of the Curry’s who teaches Arthur
how to use his powers in the new 52
comics when Arthur refuses to give up
Atlantis his location though Shean
attempts to kill him
shins role is radically condensed in
this 2018 film as he briefly appears on
a news program where he debates the
existence of Aquaman shin does resurface
upon rescuing black manta during a
mid-credits scene however meaning we’ll
likely see more of him in the future
this must all seem like a bunch of
confusing grown-up stuff to you huh
number three topo The Octopus given this
movie’s edge your take on Aquaman you’d
think that the filmmakers would keep a
more lighthearted character like topo as
far away as possible making his debut in
a 1956 issue of adventure comics this
octopus was one of Aquaman’s most loyal
animal companions I’ll never finish in
time
over the years the character evolved
from a humanoid squid to a massive sea
monster the Topo in this film has more
in common with his initial incarnation
however just as the original topo could
play multiple musical instruments at
once the octopus plays a set of drums
during Arthur’s first gladiator match
with warm his appearance may be
short-lived but it’s an awesome
reference for die-hard DC fans
nonetheless number two Julie Andrews as
herethen not too excited very well suit
yourselves
weirdly enough Julie Andrews turned down
the opportunity to make a cameo in Mary
Poppins Returns but she does lend her
voice to a character in Aquaman which
comes out the same week
Andras voices a kaiju like sea creature
known as kara ‘then who wasn’t a
prominent figure in any of the comics
but plays a crucial role in Arthur’s
journey to recover at Lana’s tried it
since she’s best known for playing
loving nurturing characters like Maria
von Trapp it’s hard to imagine Andrews
as a monstrous Leviathan yet she brings
real gravitas to the role coming off as
elegant and intimidating even when given
just a little screen time Andrews is a
larger-than-life presence
oh please catchy love them love them I
don’t care to hear anything further
finished oh yes you are captain number
one Annabelle the DCE you isn’t the
first cinematic universe James Wan has
worked on he also directed the conjuring
which went on to inspire spin-offs like
the nun and Annabel demons can’t just
take Souls Mia soul needs to be offered
to the demon before I can take speaking
of which the demonic doll from the
conjuring universe is hidden in a scene
from Aquaman after agreeing to aid Mara
Arthur boards her vessel under the sea
if you look closely during the sequence
you’ll find Annabelle sitting at the
bottom of the ocean if that wasn’t
enough to bridge these two franchises
together Patrick Wilson plays the ocean
master and Edie Warren if Lex Luthor and
Deathstroke are putting a legion of doom
together it should really fish Annabelle
out of the water
