James Wan Defends Jason Momoa's Leather Pants in Aquaman Poster

Aquamandirector James Wan justifies Arthur Curry wearing leather knickers under the sea in thefirst prescribed bill for the movie . The Jason Momoa - led flick , which hits dramaturgy this December and ends the DCEU ’s 13 - month abatement , has set out its marketing political campaign . Last calendar month , there was anextensive feature inEWon the movie , and more recently , the first one - tabloid ( as well plus sojourn details ) . But while most rooter are somewhat stoked with the cool bill poster , one fan is questioning why the titular hero is sporting leather trousers underwater .

Set after the result ofJustice League , Aquamanwill follow Arthur ’s payoff to Atlantis as he proves himself worthy to be the king of the underwater civilization . It wo n’t be a walk in the park for Queen Atlanna ( Nicole Kidman ) and Thomas Curry ’s ( Temuera Morrison ) son , with other the great unwashed wanting to be the king of Atlantis . Fortunately , the Human - Atlantean crossbreed will find some genuine allies including Amber Heard ’s Mera .

Wantook it to Twitterto explain why Arthur is boast leather fanny underwater as seen in the first official card forAquamanafter a rooter pointed it out , insinuating that it does n’t make any horse sense . While the filmmaker gracefully and lightheartedly answered the nitpick , other fans who joined the conversation reiterated thatAquamanis fiction and people should n’t be so hung - up on these frivolous details . The fact that it ’s a film that sport an submersed kingdom should ’ve already sent a clear substance that it ’s a fantastical write up . If anything , Wan and his team have done a tremendous job creating an underwater world that ’s a visual feast using a combination of virtual and figurer - get outcome - at least based on the promotional stillness released for the flick thus far . See Wan ’s post in the distance below :

Aquaman actually sports glossy - looking backside in some of his comic book return , which can only really be compare to latex paint pant in the real macrocosm - something that would be really difficult to pull off even for a guy like Momoa . So while outwear leather trousers underwater does n’t really make sentience , these somehow mimics the looking of his shining photographic print tail ( just less sheeny ) which is a detail avid comic book readers definitely appreciate .

In hindsight , Aquaman ’s flick costume has always been a crusade for vexation for fans . While his brilliant orange and green suit mostly works in the strip and the animated serial , it ’s unmanageable to pull off the precise looking at in a live - legal action film without risking the possibility of looking goofy . Warner Bros. has done a good job in mining inspiration from the superheroes ' iconic print suit and making slight changes in order for it to look cool and edgy on the big CRT screen , as well as to suit the form of edgy vibration that Momoa brings to the fibre . With the first preview for the film expect todrop subsequently this calendar week at San Diego Comic - Con , fortunately fans wo n’t have to expect too long to see how Momoa ’s costumes actually wait in action .
