😆 Well, like I said; it COULD be a good movie. We'll have to wait and see. But it doesn't help when you cast Jason Mamoa in the role of a character that's been portrayed as White most of his career.

A) I'm all for diversity in comics, just not at the expense of established characters (I.E. Human Torch)

B) Again, Mamoa really hasn't been good in much of anything excluding GoT. This compounds the casting choice even more. If Mamoa was a great actor, this issue wouldn't be as controversial.

As far as giving it a fair shake? As I said this movie is just as likely to be good as it is a trainwreck; time will tell.

If they make it not Arthur Curry, it'll be fine. If it is Arthur Curry, I will be disappoint.

Rumour says yes, and that they want someone "diverse" too.

You keep saying that.

Deep in your heart you know it'll be Arthur, though.

I just hope someone who can act is actually cast

What do you guys think of the action figure of Aquaman from the Batman v Superman toyline?

I think it looks pretty good for a live action adaptaion.

Is it just me or did they make him look "whiter" than he is lol. Anyway, it doesn't look bad.

I know... I just keep holding out some slim hope, I guess.

I like that look. I don't know why they make Mamoa look light skinned, though.

Hype as f*ck for this now.

Tons of spoilers in this link-- but YES this sounds AMAZING.

"The idea was to turn on its head the idea of Aquaman riding a seahorse, take something for which he was mocked and turn it into something terrifying and impressive," says Producer Peter Safran
