When Wan first met with Warner Bros. to discuss taking on a superhero film, they famously gave him two options: One was a very popular character (The Flash) and the other was considered so impossible to pull off that the prospect of a movie had been a running joke on Entourage. Naturally, the veteran horror director picked the project that would terrify anybody else. “Aquaman has been the joke of the comic book world, but the more I thought about it, the more I thought how cool that would be,” Wan explains. “Let’s take the character everybody makes fun of and do something really interesting with him.”
This rendition of Aquaman is literally just Jason Mamoa with a few more tattoos.
EDIT: To be clear, I wasn't bashing it at all. In fact, I really like it! I was just saying that Jason Mamoa's whole image is this rough biker dude with lots of tats and rings and long hair, and he's basically just playing a more tatted up version of himself.
