Just this past week we learned that Aquaman director James Wan had offered Nicole Kidman the role of the main hero's mother. Now we have an idea of who may end up as his father, with Temuera Morrison in the middle of making a deal to sign on.
With Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Wan has been busy building the rest of the cast as he prepares to start shooting in Australia this April. Already aboard are Amber Heard, Willem Dafoe and Patrick Wilson, with Kidman and The Get Down's Yahya Abdul-Mateen II in the middle of talks for the movie.
Morrison will be playing the human that our hero's mother Atlanna falls for after she leaves her royal responsibilities in Atlanta for the world above the surface.
It would represent the latest father figure for the actor, who may still be best known outside New Zealand for his role as Jango Fett in Star Wars: Episode II – Attack Of The Clones and Episode III – Revenge Of The Sith. He was most recently heard as title character's father in Disney's Moana.
Aquaman is scheduled for release on 5 October next year.
