Aquaman: Mera, Vulko, Atlanna … who are the Atlantes of the film?

In Aquaman, we will not only become more acquainted with the eponymous hero of the film. Atlanna, Mera and Vulko will also be in the game. But who are they really?
Wonder Woman , which was released on our screens last week, allowed us to discover the history and origins of the Amazons. But these warriors are not the only mythical beings that populate the universe of DC Comics. For we must also count on the Atlanteans, the people of Aquaman ! One should learn some little details about these deep sea inhabitants in Justice League but the film Aquaman will have ample opportunity to explore more deeply the realm of Arthur Curry and its specificities. We already know that other characters coming from the seas will be in the game, starting with Mera (Amber Heard) that we saw standing next to Aquaman on a new photo of the film . But it will also be necessary to count on the appearance of Atlanna and Vulko, the latter, who will be played by Willem Dafoe, to play an important role in the intrigue of the feature film of James Wan. But who are these three characters who remain hidden under water? History of helping those who know less about the universe of Aquaman, the editing of melty splits a little explanation in order to answer this question!
In theory, unless you’ve lived in a cave, you already know who Mera is. The super-heroine, which can be seen emerging from the water on images of the shooting of Aquaman , is none other than the wife of the king of the Seven Seas. But before becoming his half, Mera, who is originally from another dimension, was first sent by his people to Atlantide … to assassinate Aquaman! And so the young woman has long fostered a ferocious hatred towards the Atlanteans, which partly explains her somewhat irascible and difficult character. But that was before falling in love with his target and integrating the society of the inhabitants of Atlantis! However, if the relationship between Mera and Arthur Curry is often stormy, It is expected to support the latter during its confrontation against Black Manta and Ocean Master in the film . Especially since it has a pretty practical power since it can control the water and use it as a weapon. Unfortunately, its role for the moment remains rather vague. It remains to be seen whether the origins of the super-heroine will be evoked in Aquaman.
But in the course of its existence, our hero in the Trident was able to count on the presence of another woman of character. And it’s about none other than Atlanna, the mother of Aquaman incarnated in the film by Nicole Kidman ! In comics, Atlanna is considered the former queen of Atlantis. But her story and the story of how she gave birth to Aquaman vary according to the epoch . In the very first versions, Atlanna leaves Atlantis to travel and ends up meeting Tom Curry, a lighthouse keeper, from which she falls in love. And after having lived some time by his side, Atlanna gives birth to a little boy who is none other than Aquaman. Unfortunately, she died shortly thereafter, revealing her origins to Tom before giving up her last breath.
In other versions, on the other hand, Altanna is actually seduced in her sleep by the sorcerer Atlan and gives birth to a baby she calls Orin. But the little boy is fair, which is considered a bad omen in the Atlanteans, Atlanna is sent into exile and her son, abandoned. Later, the former queen of Atlantis tries to return home but is finally made prisoner by Vulko. And it is in prison that she dies, while Orrin grows to become the hero Aquaman. Obviously, it is not clear which version of the character James Wan intends to use but it is already clear that the Atlanna of Nicole Kidman will be a warrior as proud as dreadful !
The third major Atlantean we will meet in Justice League then in Aquaman is called Nuidis Vulko. And if Atlanna and Mera are rather straightforward , Vulko, it is the ambiguous kind ! Originally, the character acts as a faithful advisor and mentor to Aquaman, helping him fulfill the difficult role of king of Atlantis. But starting from the launch of News 52, Geoff Johns invents a darker version of Vulko, drawing him as a man ready to do anything and even sacrificing thousands of innocent so that Arthur Curry fulfills his destiny and becomes the sovereign of the Seven seas. Impossible to say for now what kind of Vulko will appear in the film of James Wan . But Willem Dafoe not being frankly foreign to the sympathetic characters who saw psychotics, we already imagine that we will have to be wary of him! And this, even if it remains on the side of Aquaman. Which character do you most look forward to discovering?

If kids meet these actors in Santa Claus, it will be the last Christmas party they will want to celebrate

We all already wanted to make a little believe that Papa Noel is actually a villain. In case it would make him want to celebrate Christmas. With these actors, guaranteed success.

Liam Neeson
Authoritarian. Clearly the guy not to shit. He’s calm and normal, until you shoot it to end and there, there sanction . The blue eyes piercing, the hand of a disproportionate size that tears your head, the low voice that makes you tremble: the one who played Ras’Al Ghum in “The Dark Knight Rises” or the father breaks mouth in “Taken “Would be a Santa Claus anti-chouineries.
Tom Hardy
Violent. The top step compared to Liam Neeson, it is immediately in the fight. No need to irritate him, he is already. It is like that, there are peaceful people and warlike people. Born in his roles (Bane in “The Dark Knight Rises”, “Bronson”, John Fitzgerald in “The Revenant”), Tom Hardy often embodies a bastard who likes to provoke and type. The kids are gonna be received …
Jack Nicholson
Flippant. It does not matter much, besides it is almost difficult to explain. For in the background, the American does not have a head to play Frankestein or Elephant Man. His look, on the other hand, teases you. You can see madness, tell you: “He fished a bolt him oh.” Look at “Shining”, or “Batman Returns”. And even in “Flying over a Cuckoo’s Nest”, despite the fact that he is a “nice”, he remains border line and it is not the kind of guy you want to cross in the last train , Which will hold your leg and stress.
Danny Trejo
Impressive. Not sure that the costume holds, considering the physique of the good man. If it is cheap, it will crack direct. And it will take a good beard and a good makeup otherwise no kid will come to make the picture … A head of guy who made the jail (it falls well, Danny Trejo made it), scars, a sharp look, protruding muscles : You say yes to everything. You do not argue, do not chip. If he gives you the dirty sock he wore at the moment, you say thank you . Perfect for parents who dream of saving money, kids will be much less demanding with such a Santa Claus.
François Damiens
Heavy. Although he has a priest’s head, it is not the most dangerous. It’s his ability to break your balls for a long time, on a word, something stupid and push you to the end. Kind more kid than a kid. Send him a kid, he’ll do a “Live my life Dad”: it will fall on a stubborn guy sucks, who can lose 3 hours if necessary for an insignificant thing and laugh only without embarrassment. The child will be all confusing and Santa has made him lose all innocence on this holiday.
Willem Dafoe
Worrying. It could have a handsome head, if he had not that air of schizophrenic . While Jack Nicholson seems well aware of his scary side, Willem Dafoe is angry because he does not control himself. Unpredictable, it is not a surprise if he shone in Jopling in “The Grand Budapest Hotel” and especially in Norman Osborne / The Green Jester in the “Spiderman”. In addition to a disturbing look, his smile suggests that he is possessed. Finally, “possedey”.
You wonder if he listens to you or thinks completely of something else. Even he is not sure.
Christoph Waltz
Insensitive. When you see the roles he connects, you think he still plays great the guy no heart, no pity . We can also say “the fucker” but it is not friendly and a bit virulent. The Nazi colonel in “Inglorious Bastards”, the bounty hunter in “Django Unchained”, the enemy of 007 in “Specter”: that inhuman bastards. The kid who approaches him feels like a wave of cold that numbs him, no element of response (verbal, gestural) reassuring. He will not draw anything from it, it is lost.
The magic of Christmas must carry it, that’s for sure.
Paul Dano
Imbalance. His physique of gringalet suggests that it presents no danger. Why not! The small brown to shifty eyes embodies what is more devious here below . Paul Dano has a guy’s head shy, harmless, almost a victim of college. And in fact, it’s him who stops you, martyrs you, makes you sing. Look at it in “12 years a slave” and “Prisoners” … Even in “Little Miss Sunshine”, you wonder when it’s going to skid.
The smile that does everything but put you in confidence.
Tcheky Karyo
Invasive. The kind of guy who does not respect anything and believes himself everywhere at home. He makes his law where and when it sings, nothing to jerk. The ultimate? In “Dobermann”, when Tchéky Karyo plays Inspector Cristini. Imagine it in Santa Claus: he comes home by breaking the door, settles down at the table, ends the dishes, fucks his feet on the table, calls the kids and questions them muscularly about the mistakes of their lives and their Spit in the mouth that they do not deserve to give. And Father Christmas leaves and slams the door. It was the last Christmas party that the children wanted to celebrate, after that you are quiet. Which would be the worst in your opinion?
