6 on Original Aquaman Vincent Chase Has Only One Question About Jason MomoaEveryone is pretending that Aquaman is Arthur Curry's first feature film all to himself, but fans of mid-2000s HBO original series know better.

Aquaman has missed out on perhaps its best chance for an Oscar® nomination. The Academy announced the latest shortlists in several Oscar® categories, including visual effects. Aquaman made the previous cut in the VFX category earlier this month, but it did not survive this most recent round. Ten films remain in contention for the visual effects…
Comic book villains are not generally known for subtlety and nuance. They have a tendency to be over the top, from their costumes to their core personalities. What separates several of the best villains from the rest of the pack, however, is the emotional truth underneath it all. That's what Patrick Wilson wanted to tap…
Jason Momoa is on a world tour promoting Aquaman and he racked up some major frequent flyer miles last week. He started the week in New York after hosting Saturday Night Live before heading to the Philippines and then back to the United States, but on a different coast. Momoa vlogged the whole trip, including a behind-the-scenes look…
Director James Wan had his choice of two major projects when he first met with Warner Bros. about making a DC movie. The studio had several movies on the slate, but no director attached to movies for Aquaman and the Flash. It's the kind of choice that might feel impossible to a DC fan, but…
Aquaman is now the fourth highest-grossing superhero movie ever released in China. The James Wan film sits at $189.2M in the Middle Kingdom. It moved ahead of Marvel's Captain America: Civil War ($180.8M) this weekend. Warner Bros.' oceanic adventure has a long way to go to catch Avengers: Age of Ultron ($240.1M) in third place, but it…
The superhero genre is evolving. The list of characters that get movies has expanded beyond the biggest, most-established mainstream icons.

Aquaman’s Jason Momoa is ready to team up with the Justice League again and take on a legendary team of villains.

Aquaman is less than a week away from theaters in North America.

Aquaman star Jason Momoa approaches fan comments with honesty and fairness. Politeness is returned in kind while rude behavior may get you a less than polite response. Momoa recently spent a little time addressing to fan comments on IGN. You can see the amusing results in the video above. Honestly, I'm not sure why anyone would…
The reviews are in for Aquaman and critics have enjoyed the latest DC Films offering, for the most part. The film sits at 75% on Rotten Tomatoes after 64 reviews, as of this writing. If Aquaman holds that line on the Tomatometer, it will be the second-best-reviewed DC movie of the current era. It would only trail Wonder Woman (93%) in…
Superhero movies have been abundant for several years now. That's not a complaint, but necessary to point out while acknowledging the difficulty a filmmaker faces when trying to offer something truly unique in the genre. Director James Wan has answered the call with Aquaman, an epic fantasy adventure on the high seas that feels completely original…

This is just the latest record for Aquaman in the world's second-largest movie market. The…
Few expect Ben Affleck or Henry Cavill to ever appear again in DC movies. Batman and Superman, respectively, are reportedly going to be recast whenever we see those characters again.
