AQUAMAN: New Image Reveals Our First Look At The Fisherman King, Played By... Djimon Hounsou?
Djimon Hounsou likes his secret DC film roles! Following the news that the GOTG actor will be playing The Wizard in Shazam, it's been revealed that he'll also appear as The Fisherman King in Aquaman...
EW has unveiled a new still from James Wan's Aquaman movie which gives us our first look at a character named The Fisherman King, who will be played by none other than Djimon Hounsou!
Earlier this week, we found out that Hounsou had been cast as The Wizard in Shazam!, which means the Academy Award-winning actor is DC double-dipping. In Aquaman, he's playing one of the seven Kings of Atlantis who meets with Orm (Patrick Wilson) in order to hear his proposal to declare war on the surface world.
Also pictured are the Fisherman Queen (Natalia Safran), Princess (Sophia Forrest) and a royal guard.
“After the fall of Atlantis, some of the kingdoms evolved and some devolved,” explains producer Peter Safran. “This is one that evolved. This is a kingdom that’s primarily artistic and cerebral, with poets and philosophers.”
