I love Julie Andrews and when it came time to cast my version of the Kraken in this film I felt like I really wanted this creature to be female. Because, of course, the most powerful creature on this planet would be female. For some reason I really wanted her to be British. So who better for this role than Dame Julie Andrews? And she is so wonderful and great in it!

— James Wan on casting Julie Andrews as the voice of the Karathen in Aquaman

“My first experience putting that suit on was looking at James Wan and he was so excited, and then I facetimed my kids and I took a picture of them and they were so excited, and that was it for me. It’s a beautiful suit. It was a big concern of James to get that right, obviously I wanted that right, but, he wanted it in this movie, and he killed it. The moment we walk out, it’s a beautiful reveal. Walk out through a waterfall, and slam that trident down. It’s pretty cool.” - Jason Momoa on the Aquaman Suit

A king fights only for his nation. You… fight for everyone.

aquaman is a very kind film

when some fans ask arthur for a selfie while he’s at a bar, drinking with his dad, he agrees–even though he doesn’t really like people

whenever arthur saves people, he takes the time to address them in their language

when mera eats a rose, thinking it’s human food and offers one to arthur, rather than correct and embarrass her, he eats a flower too

when arthur sees his mom for the first time in decades, he doesn’t blame her for being gone, he embraces her and talks about how much his dad still loves her

when arthur retrieves the trident–finally becoming aquaman–he doesn’t fight his way through the guardian, he talks to her and it’s the first conversation she’s had in eons

and his reply to the guardian’s accusation that he’s unworthy, is that he doesn’t want the trident to prove his worth, but to protect the people he loves

the one time when arthur is not kind, when he lets black manta’s father die, he acknowledges that it was a mistake, and it comes back to haunt him in a very real way

and the climactic battle against his brother ends with arthur letting him live. he lets orm reunite with their mom because he knows atlanna loves both her sons and that orm loved their mother too

and he tells orm, who openly hates arthur, that whenever he’s ready to talk, arthur will be there

aquaman is a brash, unabashedly fun movie but it’s also very kind too

i hope you guys see it
