Willem Dafoe was supposed to make his DC debut in Justice League, but his brief appearance as Vulko ended up on the cutting room floor. There's no risk of that this time around though, with the character having a key role to play in Aquaman, and now we've got our first look at him too. Sort of.

We only get to see Dafoe's Vulko from behind, but it's enough to at least give us an indication of what he's going to look like in the movie (the costume design of this movie can best be described as 'scaly'), along with his interactions with Aquaman and Mera, as he lends some of his sage advice and scientific knowledge to Arthur Curry inside a galleon.

Speaking of Mera, she did make it into Justice League, but will again have a considerably bigger role here. EW have revealed a couple of new shots of Amber Heard's character, including the one above, as well as her and Arthur on land (below).
