AQUAMAN

Out 14 December

Filmmakers from Kevin Costner to Wolfgang Petersen have struggled with their water works (not like that), but there are reasons to feel buoyant about the DCEU’s ocean dip. A look or 20 at the trailers reveals a romp packed with pirates, princesses, sexy tats, aquarium trips and pleasingly bad puns about “something deeper”. Once you factor in Bond-ian skydives, Raiders-style archaeological finds, Avatar-esque prog-rock undersea worlds, Ponyostyle wave-races and Moana-sized crabs, it’s almost as if the whole screen is roaring “Awesome!”, not just Jason Momoa. Short of the ex-GOT star boiling someone’s bonce in melted gold, it’s hard to see what more you could ask for. Ride that seahorse to last issue for our “BAAAD-ASSS” interview haul.
