Second time

This is the second time Nicole Kidman has worked in a DC movie, after 'Batman Forever'.

Even though Aquaman's suit was supposed to be a surprise, Zach Snyder decided for his birthday to upload a video of Jason Momoa as Aquaman with the suit on.

Race

At the beginning, Mera was thought to be played by a non-Caucasian to match Jason Momoa, but it was rejected when Amber Heard was cast.

Adaptation

It's based on Geoff John's 'Aquaman' comics.

Rejected

Atlan, The Dead King, Aquaman's ancestor who resurrected as a mad zombie, was supposed to be in the movie, but the idea was finally rejected.

Back again together

This film marks the fifth collaboration between director James Wan and actor Patrick Wilson, after Insidious (2010), Expediente Warren: The Conjuring (2013), Insidious: Capítulo 2 (2013) and Expediente Warren: El caso Enfield (2016).

Underdog

James Wan revealed he had a choice of what film he wanted to direct between The Flash and Aquaman, but chose Aquaman because he is the underdog.
