‘Aquaman’ Concept Art Showcases Key Moment With Classic Comic Book Costume

Mere days ahead of its North American release, concept art for Warner Bros. and DC’s live-action Aquaman movie has been making a splash on the internet.

A more recent gem, as tweeted out by The Aquaman Shrine, comes straight from Mike Avila’s upcoming book The Art and Making of Aquaman. It features a behind-the-scenes look at one of the more iconic shots used in the film’s advertising. The King of Atlantis himself (as portrayed by Jason Momoa in the upcoming film) strikes a confident pose at the foot of a roaring waterfall, trident in hand and sporting the iconic orange and green look. It is a striking image and one that highlights just how much work can go into bringing a simple shot from the page to the screen.

The Art and Making of Aquaman hits shelves January 1, 2019. Here’s the official synopsis for the film itself:

From Warner Bros. Pictures and director James Wan comes an acition-packed adventure that spans the vast, visually breathtaking underwater world of the seven seas, “Aquaman,” starring Jason Momoa in the title role. The film reveals the origin story of half-human, half-Atlantean Arthur Curry and takes him on the journey of his lifetime—one that will not only force him to face who he really is, but to discover if he is worthy of who he was born to be… a king.

Directed by James Wan, Aquaman stars Jason Momoa as Arthur Curry, Amber Heard as Mera, Willem Dafoe as Vulko, Patrick Wilson as Orm / Ocean Master, Dolph Lundgren as Nereus, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Black Manta, Nicole Kidman as Atlanna, Ludi Lin as Captain Murk, and Temuera Morrison as Tom Curry.

Aquaman will be released in theaters on December 21, 2018.
