Patrick Wilson (Nite Owl) cast as Orm in Aquaman movie

[héad.casé]

DC Films has cast Watchmen actor Patrick Wilson as Orm, the evil half-brother of Aquaman, opposite Jason Momoa in the Aquaman movie.

Orm may be better known to DC Comics fans as Ocean Master, the villain who frequently challenges Aquaman for the right to sit on the throne of Atlantis.

Wilson has worked with Aquaman director James Wan on two films in The Conjuring franchise already, with the latest opening earlier this year. He also played Nite Owl in Zack Snyder's adaptation of Watchmen.

Momoa debuted as Aquaman with a cameo in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. He will reprise the role for Justice League before taking the lead in Aquaman, where he will be joined by Amber Heard as Mera, the Queen of Atlantis.

Aquaman opens in theaters on Oct. 5, 2018.

Patrick Wilson's a damn good actor, so that's not a bad call.

Had no idea James Wan was directing, that could be pretty good.

Interesting. The New 52 went out of its way to make Ocean Master look like one of those Calvin Klein model types to highlight his (relative) naivety. Remember, the first thing he said to Aquaman when they reunited was "Bro, why haven't you taken over the surface world yet? You're better than these dweebs."

Here, a simpler brains/brawn, beefy/schlubby contrast.

Can't wait to see Vincent Chase in action!

So Nite Owl, Norman Osborn and Khal Drogo walk into a bar, and suddenly it floods but they're ok because it's an Aquaman movie now.

I'm just gonna say that Vinny would actually be a better Aquaman
