Despite director James Wan preparing to start shooting the film next month, the Aquaman film is adding to its cast. Dolph Lundgren has joined the ensemble, playing another antagonist to trouble Jason Momoa's hero.
Momoa's Atlantean king will already be dealing with problems from Orm (Patrick Wilson), his half-brother, who is a rival for the throne. Now Lundgren is aboard as King Nereus, ruler of the aquatic kingdom of Xebel, who stakes a claim to Aquaman's queen, Mera (Amber Heard) and decides that his love life would be easier if Aquaman were dead.
Also in the cast so far are Willem Dafoe as science advisor Dr. Vulko, Nicole Kidman as Atlanna, Aquaman's mother, Temuera Morrison as his father, Thomas Curry, and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as the dastardly Black Manta.
Aquaman will be flooding UK cinemas from 5 October next year.
