Last week,Justice LeaguedirectorZack Snydershared a new video to the social media site Vero, which offered our first look atJason Momoaswimming underwater as Aquaman. While the scene was quite brief, it was still intriguing nonetheless, showing Arthur Curry swimming up to a statue that featured what looked like the armor we have already seenAquamanwearing in promotional photos. Some fans began to question whether or not that was actuallyJason Momoain that shot, or just a CGI rendering of the actor swimming under water, butZack Snydersent out a new photo to prove those fans wrong.
Zack Snydertook to the new social media app Vero to reassure fans that it was actuallyJason Momoain this shot, which was captured byTwitterusers, along with a side-by-side shot from the actual video. Instead ofJason Momoabeing a CGI rendering, it turned out to be the opposite, with the actor being positioned on a rig controlled by a crew member wearing an all-green suit, surrounded by green screens, with his entire underwater environment being created digitally. Here’s what the director had to say on the social media app.
“People are wondering whether he was CG or not. He’s not. Hair and environment CG otherwise all Jason.”
While very little is known about this scene, there has been plenty of speculation since it was released last week. It’s possible that this scene could be a continuation of one scene that was shown in Comic-Con footage, whereArthur Currywas seen standing on a pier, drinking a bottle of alcohol, before he was consumed by water. SinceAquamanis seen in this brief video wearing similar pants from that scene, this brief scene could come shortly after the pier scene, but we have no way of telling for sure. It also isn’t known how much we’ll see of this underwater environment, or if directorJames Wanwill be using the same harness and green scene techniques for the stand aloneAquamanmovie.
SinceAquamanis just one part of this massive superhero team, it doesn’t seem likely that we’ll spend too much time underwater, or even if we’ll get to see the mythical kingdom of Atlantis too much inJustice League. We do know thatAmber Heard’s Queen Mera andWillem Dafoe’s Nuidis Vulko will also be introduced inJustice Leauge, before returning in the stand aloneAquamanmovie. Hopefully we’ll get to see more of this underwater scene when the nextJustice Leaguetrailer debuts, but it still isn’t clear when that will be released quite yet.
Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act,Bruce Wayneenlists 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. While we wait for more onJustice League, take a look atZack Snyder’s new behind-the-scenes photo below, which comes side-by-side with the shot from the recently-releasedJustice Leaguevideo.
