Aquaman Trailer Breakdown: 19 Things You Need To See

5. Yup, That's Djimon Hounsou

Aquaman Djimon Hounsou
Warner Bros.

Believe it or not, that's the terrific Djimon Hounsou playing the Fisherman King, the ruler of one of the more evolved kingdoms of Atlantis who is apparently approached by King Orm to help him in starting a war against the surface world.

This is especially interesting casting as Hounsou already plays the role of Korath in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and was recently cast to play the Wizard in DC's own Shazam! Are we just gonna cast the guy in scarcely-recognisable roles in superhero movies from now on?

Kidding aside, the makeup and costumes here look absolutely first-rate.
