The image also gives fans new looks at Jason Momoa’s studly superhero and Amber Heard’s crimson-haired Mera. See Momoa’s solo (and soaked) cover below.
Atlanna’s scaly bodysuit is similar to the one worn by Mera, whose outfit is slightly more revealing and darker hue than the crowned queen’s. As for Arthur Curry himself, he’s still sporting the casual look he rocked at the beginning of Justice League, and not his full armour.
“The water world my movie takes place in is so separate and so far apart from previous DC movies it’s like I’m making my own sci-fi fantasy film,” director James Wan tells the publication. “This is a whole new underwater world nobody has seen before in live action.”
The cover story preview also noted that the movie will be filled with “Atlanteans riding great white sharks, giant octopi, seven different underwater kingdoms, trench-dwelling cannibals, and even sea dragons.” The movie will also show the protagonist going head-to-head against Black Manta (David Kane) and King Orm (Patrick Wilson), Aquaman’s half-brother.
