AQUAMAN Star Dolph Lundgren Shares A New Behind-The-Scenes Photo Of His Combat Training

The Swedish action star recently tweeted a photo of himself training with one of the movie's stuntmen. It looks like Lundgren's character, Nereus, is going to be a tough guy to beat in hand-to-hand combat.

While a lot of the Atlantis scenes in Justice League didn't make the film's final cut, we only have to wait about a year to get a look at James Wan's vision of the aquatic kingdom. For now,  we'll just have to rely on behind-the-scenes photos to tide us over before the movie's first trailer is released. 

Action star Dolph Lundgren, who plays warrior king Nereus, recently shared a picture of his training for the film's fight scenes. While the picture doesn't give us a look at any costumes or sets, it shows us that Lundgren will be getting into some pretty awesome underwater brawls. 


Nereus is a fairly new character in Aquaman lore, making his first appearance in 2013. However, we shouldn't be surprised that he is going to be in this film, since one of the writers, Geoff Johns, also penned the 2013 Aquaman story arc where Nereus debuted.

Lundgren is no stranger to fight scenes, as he played Frank Castle in The Punisher (1989), and He-Man in Masters of the Universe, just to name a couple. Seeing Lundgren in boxing gloves is also a pretty familiar sight, as he famously brought Ivan Drago to the screen in Rocky IV

The Swedish actor should add some pretty solid action cred to Aquaman, and it will be interesting to see how much of a role Nereus has in the movie. We can only assume Lundgren will get to fight Jason Momoa's Aquaman on screen when the movie hits theatres on December 21, 2018.

Really hope there is a training montage in this movie with 80s hair metal.

He was the leader of the Bratva, a Russian mob family that Ollie joined in the flashbacks. His arc came to an end last season (5) in Arrow.
