Aquaman(2018)

Well there isn't a thread dedicated to the Aquaman film to be released in 2018 with Jason Mamoa as the title character so here it is.

Mamoa talks about the role a little:

i'll pass, however if he gets me to change my mind after seeing him in action prior to his solo film then i will see

I hope momoa knocks it out of the park

Can't wait to see the lineup on this one. The director/writer, etc...

Is mamoa going to bleach his hair?

Hope they do him a makeover. But I doubt it.

i hope he has taken acting classes... 😮 ...either that or they'll have his voice electronically altered 😮 😱

I am intrigued.

So, according to the emails that were hacked, Jeff Nichols is the possible director for Aquaman. Interesting choice.

I would've personally gone for someone with a proven track record, like Paul Greengrass.

He could do a good job. I haven't seen any of his work though, so I'm not that sure.

He's one of the better young directors under 40. Watch Mud with Matthew McConaughey. One of the better films that year. Take Shelter was just as good, too.

I doubt he'll do it, because he already has turned down a blockbuster to do small movies.

not sure i believe the hacked emails... will try to watch some of this dudes work though but that isn't a high priority at the moment

I'd like to give this a shot but BvS has to be amazing imo or else WB should wrap it up

It has to be good and from the looks of it, it will be. MOS weakness was from the script and they just hired an Oscar worthy screen writer. It doesn't have to be the greatest thing since sliced bread. Just good.

Imo BvS has to be amazing in order to sell the Suicide squad.

It's not a DC thing, if Avengers 2 is boring Antman is screwed though it has some wiggle room based on the track record.

I'm sure it will be a hit. A lot of people liked MOS (Showed in the DVD/Blue Ray sales) and SS has Joker which will be a guaranteed hit. And Will Smith who does well overseas (even his stinkers do well overseas). I'm predicting big money for SS.

I'm sure it will draw money, but I'm worried about staying power and the forced schedule. I mean I KNOW they could change it, but it will certainly look bad if they can't get through phase 1 without hiccups.

Well every studio including Marvel has hiccups. TIH underperformed in their Phase I.

But yeah Marvel's given us the Best and Quintessential track record for comic book heroes. They have 2 Billion dollar franchises and another 2 potential Billion dollar franchises. They've honestly changed cinema becoming the biggest brand name for movies.

So it's not like DC have to match their record to succeed. That's kinda an impossible target right now anyway. It's like Pepsi. They don't have to Beat Coke (this was their original mission statement) to be a big ass success themselves.

DC's on track to break that record. MOS made more money than most of Marvel Studios, including the first 2 Iron Man's. Suicide Squad will definitely make more than Incredible Hulk, and Batman V Superman will do more than MOS.

Then we have WW, Aquaman, the future Batman movies, Superman movies, etc...
