After battling Steppenwolf in Justice League, Jason Momoa’s Arthur Curry is set for problems closer to home this December as he battles his half-brother Orm (Patrick Wilson) in Warner Bros. and DC Films’ next superhero blockbuster Aquaman.
Orm – a.k.a. Ocean Master – has his eye on the Throne of Atlantis, but he’s also keen to wage war on the surface dwellers, and director James Wan has explained to Yahoo! Movies why the villain has such a problem with humanity.
“It’s so rooted in the environment and that’s what Orm hates,” said Wan. “He hates how we treat one another, treat the planet with so little regard. And the idea here is that all the crap from the surface world literally rolls down to him and his people. And he’s just sick of it.”
Sounds like he’s pretty justified in his motivations to be honest, although we suspect there’s probably a better solution than rallying your armies and waging war.
