Willem Dafoe teases Vulko’s appearance in Justice League and Aquaman

August 30, 2017 by Gary Collinson

Having portrayed Norman Osborn in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man, actor Willem Dafoe is heading to the DC universe this November as he takes on the role of the Atlantean Nuidis Vulko in Warner Bros.’ Justice League, a role he will reprise next year in the Aquaman solo movie.

As yet, we’re yet to see an image of the character, but Dafoe has been speaking to IGN about Vulko’s appearance, stating that: “The day that they show the shot of the character will accomplish more than I can by talking about it now. I like the look very much, and know they released a toy recently. But it doesn’t look so much what I look like [in the film].”

“Vulko is 100% Atlantean,” he continued. “So that’s different, because [Aquaman] is half-Atlantean and half-human. So they’re quite different and I’m capable of being outside of the water, but mostly it’s underwater. And I’m a guy that’s been around for a while. I have a kind of… let’s call it an armor. It’s a good look, I like it a lot.”

Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.
