We've seen quite a bit of Aquaman at this stage but with a shortened version of that five-minute sneak peek being sent to theaters with Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, it appears as if Warner Bros. has decided against revealing any more before December 21st rolls around.

However, a new still from the movie has surfaced from the depths today and it puts the spotlight on Jason Momoa's Arthur Curry as he finds himself surrounded by a massive tidal wave. 

"The context of that photo is basically the Atlantic coastline is being hit by tidal waves and it’s not actually an attack from Atlantis but a warning sign of what’s to come," director James Wan reveals when asked to provide some context. "It’s basically a message from King Orm [Patrick Wilson] and he’s throwing our warships and waste back onto the land."
 
"The trailer and images don’t really do it justice," he continues. "The crazy part is there’s so much movie, what’s out there has barely scratched the surface. That’s the crazy thing is that one long take shot that everybody seems excited about in the trailer, that’s only half the shot. And it doesn’t have the context of how it comes to play."

Is your excitement for Aquaman starting to build? There's now a little over a month until the DC Comics adaptation is released so expect to learn much more about it in the coming weeks.

Cautiously optimistic about this one. James Wan is a talented director, the action looks great, and the production design is fantastic.

But I'm still concerned about the usual DCEU track record, Momoa and Amber Heard's chemistry, and the fact they look like they're packing in A LOT of story

@MrDandy - agreed, acting looks questionable, jokes are so so. CGI fest guaranteed for a good time popcorn flick.

@MrDandy - Three good films ("Man of Steel", "Batman v Superman" and Wonder Woman" out of five, is an admirable track record, but I agree, when Warner Bros. has interfered on their DC Films more than, quite possibly, any other hero, that's not a good track record.

The whole point of a trailer is to show a movie's most striking images and intrigue you, right?.. so why is he explaining this? Also, how about just going to see the [frick]ing movie itself to find out.

"'The trailer and images don’t really do it justice,' he continues. 'The crazy part is there’s so much movie, what’s out there has barely scratched the surface.'"

I love hearing this. My favorite DC Films ("Man of Steel", "Batman v Superman" and "Wonder Woman") are the exact same way. Even seeing the trailers multiple times, I still didn't see everything. Even seeing the films multiple times, I still haven't picked up on everything. the themes, the character beats, the emotion, etc. There is so much to mine from these films that makes them better and better. I'm glad to hear "Aquaman" is continuing the tradition. I'm so excited. :,)
