One of the earliest signs that Aquaman was shaping up to be better than people were expecting was the addition of Nicole Kidman to its cast, the Oscar-winning star taking on her first comic book movie role since 1995's Batman Forever.

Kidman is taking on the role of Queen Atlanna, the Atlantean queen and mother of Arthur Curry, and our first look at her comes from the still above, where she's taking care of Aquababy. The other person in the photo is likely Thomas Curry, Arthur's human father who is played by Temuera Morrison. Also of note here is just how bright the movie looks, while the EW cover reveals another shot of Kidman as Atlanna (in short, she looks awesome):
