Last month's EW cover story included a still from the movie showing Nicole Kidman's Atlanna holding a young Arthur, and that's only going to be one part of a series of flashbacks to piece together his origin story. Safran told IGN:

[The film] starts in the '80s when Tom rescues Atlanna from the beach. She washes up on a rocky cove, is injured and wounded, and he nurses her back to health. You know, their love story, and they end up with Arthur. That cuts to the present day, and so then we live the rest of the movie in the present day with one or two small flashbacks to different points in Arthur's youth."

The majority of the movie, however, will take place in the present day of this universe, which in Aquaman's case means it is post-Justice League.

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
