February 20, 2018

Action icon Dolph Lundgren (Masters of the Universe, Expendables franchise) recently spoke to the Las Vegas Review-Journal about his role as King Nereus in Warner Bros.’ upcoming Aquaman movie!

“It is good to be king,” Lundgren said. “Basically, I try to keep the peace down there along with Amber Heard, who plays my daughter. She’s trying to convince me to join the right side. Then you have Nicole Kidman as Aquaman’s mother. We’re trying to avoid war between the surface dwellers and the people of Atlantis.”

The Aquaman cast includes Jason Momoa (reprising his role from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League) as the titular King of Atlantis, with Amber Heard as his wife Mera, Willem Dafoe as Nuidis Vulko, Temuera Morrison as Tom Curry, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Black Manta, Ludi Lin as Murk, Patrick Wilson as Orm/Ocean Master, Academy Award winner Nicole Kidman as Atlanna and Michael Beach as Jesse Kane. The film is directed by James Wan from a script by Will Beall, Geoff Johns and Wan.

The sixth film in the DC Extended Universe, Aquaman opens in theaters on December 21, 2018.
