Nicole Kidman in talks for major Aquaman role?

February 1st, 2017 by Marc Comments

We just reported that the Aquaman movie is pretty close to casting Black Manta and now we have another interesting piece of casting news…

Nicole Kidman is reported to be in talks to star as Arthur Curry’s (Aquaman) mother in the movie.

You may remember Kidman was allegedly set to star in Wonder Woman a while ago but it then turned out not to be so… well, maybe there was some truth to the rumour only for a different movie in the DC Cinematic universe.

Kidman is certainly a big name and Aquaman is building an expressive cast so far.

What do you all think?

The Aquaman movie has already cast Jason Momoa in the lead role, along with Amber Heard as Mera, Queen of Atlantis, Willem Dafoe scientist Dr Vulko and Patrick Wilson as Orm, Aquaman’s half-brother and villain. It will Black Manta.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
