Willem Dafoe has explained the process of film the underwater scenes forAquaman . Even before Jason Momoa makes his genuine DC Extended Universe inJustice League , fans are already proud of with his rock ' n roll approach to the King of Atlantis . The excitement has only heightened the interest in his solo celluloid , which is good tidings as is it is the only DCEU film coiffe to come out in 2018 . If the early reaction to the type are any indication , Aquamancould be a bighearted hit , and it could also be thanks to the surround it will work with .

Aquamanis set to take place principally subaquatic , explore the depths of the ocean and Arthur Curry ’s standing among Atlanteans . In doing so , it will open up up his own unique corner of the DCEU   meet with firebrand Modern characters , all of whom subsist underwater . Director James Wan has say these effects are quite   challenge technically , but thankfully Dafoe has filled us in on the procedure of filming these prospect .

Screen Crushspoke to Dafoe about the process of filming submersed scenes forAquaman . Since Atlanteans can respire and talk underwater , it would understandably be a unmanageable task to do the integral picture show practically . or else , the water - filled world will be added in post - production - though Dafoe clear up that the film ’s yield crew is   not taking any shortcuts with their existent setups :

Most of my scene are underwater . Some are not . So much of it , because we ’re talking , and pip underwater is a lot of ways impractical because you ’re limited to what you’re able to do with sets . It ’s more about shooting them dry for squiffy , and then the effects do sure things to give the water palpate . But we are n’t doing the shot underwater , but we are in harnesses and on wire . There is movement . It ’s not like were all sitting around pretending were submersed like this [ stand up up still ] , we ’re swimming around , we ’re moving . So that should be really beautiful .

Dafoe will play Vulko in the film , serving as an adviser and wise man to Curry allot to this interview . This should give Dafoe plentifulness of chance to wreak with Momoa in and out of these luxuriant set up ups . Fans just recently got the best look at Vulko   yet , thanks to someJustice Leaguemerchandise-   and after having process on that movie , Dafoe   may have already familiarized himself with the cognitive operation of filming underwater , prior toAquamanstarting yield . It sounds as though Wan has a handle on this filming style too and should be able to put his endowment to work in making the underwater sequence here resist out . If they can achieve that , it could be one of many reasons thatAquamansucceeds .
