First Look: Aquaman Goes Underwater In ‘Justice League’
The firstJustice Leaguetrailer showed Aquaman strutting around on land, tussling with Batman and trying his best to stay hydrated. But he really belongs to the sea, and now we’ve got our first halfway decent look at the underwater kingdom he calls home. DirectorZack Snyderhas shared a brief snippet of footage showingJason Momoaswimming around underwater, offering a much better idea of what he’ll look like in action. Plus,Gal Gadothas posted a new photo of Wonder Woman from the set.
Snyder shared theJustice LeagueAquaman footage. (Although Snyder doesn’t say which film this is from, James Wan’sAquamanhasn’t started shooting so it’s a safe bet this isJustice Leaguewe’re looking at.) In it, we see Momoa swim up to a man seated on a throne — perhapsWillem Dafoe’s Nuidis Vulko, since we already know he’s inJustice League.
Working on my birthday
This isn’t our first time seeing Aquaman underwater, since he had that brief cameo inBatman v Superman. But it offers a better sense of the way he moves, as well as our first real peek at the underwater kingdom of Atlantis. The guy seated on the throne is really giving off a “Thor, but in the ocean” vibe, but the rich marine life around it gives Atlantis a bit of a different vibe than your typical fantasy kingdom. Mostly, though, I’m relieved to see how graceful Momoa looks. Aquaman’s appearance inBatman v Supermanwas disappointingly clumsy, especially when he had all that long hair floating around in front of his face.
Meanwhile, as Snyder celebrated his birthday by sharing some Aquaman footage, Gal Gadot took the opportunity to post a new photo from the set.

There’s nothing really new to see here, but as fans of Wonder Woman we’ll take what we can get. Gadot’sWonder Womanis outJune 2.Justice Leagueis in theatersNovember 17.
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.
