Djimon Hounsou Is Not The Only AQUAMAN Cast Member Who Will Also Appear In SHAZAM!

Over the weekend, we found out that Academy Award nominee Djimon Hounsou would play The Fisherman King in James Wan's Aquaman, and just a few days prior, it was announced that he would also appear as The Wizard in the Shazam! movie.

Well, it turns out Hounsou is not the only actor that'll be popping up in both films.

Pictured beside The Fisherman King in EW's exclusive image is his Queen, who will be played by Natalia Safran, and a Reddit user has noticed that the Polish actress is also listed as Dr. Sivana’s wife in David Sandberg's take on the Big Red Cheese.

Both roles are most likely fairly minor, but it's still interesting that two DCEU actors are overlapping in the same movies like this.

Aquaman swims into theaters this December, while Shazam! will be with us in April of next year.

In the span of a few months Djimon Hounsou will be on screen in two back-to-back DC movies, and two Captain Marvel movies. What?

She's wife of Peter Safran, who is producing both Aquaman and Shazam. Nepotism!!!

@BlindWedjat - This is the real reason she is in both films.

That's nothing new. Tim Burton puts all his girlfriends in his movies, including Eva Green in Dumbo.

Going back to the old studio system, eh Warners?

They also got Mark Strong as both Sinestro in this and Sivana in Shazam!

Oh, sorry, Sinestro's not in this one, is he? This is Aquaman, not Green Lantern.

Kinda hard to tell with that picture up there. Major Green Lantern (2011) vibes.

@GwenLantern - Well that Green Lantern movie isnt part of the DCEU so it doesnt matter.

@BlindWedjat - Equus Mortus Snyderii, also known as the "dead horse that beats itself".

@BlindWedjat -
So, the JL we got is pretty much what Snyder envisioned. It's just slightly retooled and missing some of the fat and flair.

@Battabing - I'm definitely happy it had less of his prior movie's fat but in the end felt like it could use a little of his flair

I keep saying this, but I'd like to see Snyder create a new position - where he's not director, not cinematographer - but still able to have a hand in how a film looks. I also refuse to call this another producer position.

@NicolausCopernicus - He can still be Lobo, just like Evans was the Human Torch and Cap: by giving the rights to Feige.

That's right, bitches! DC in the MCU! Let's do this shit!
dracula
dracula - 7/15/2018, 8:23 PM
@NicolausCopernicus - The difference is that Djimon is playing small characters, Momoa is playing a leading character, so he probably cant play Lobo
