Aquaman is a go.
Warner Bros. announced Wednesday that principal photography has started on the superhero movie starring Jason Momoa as the titular Atlantean ruler.

Reprising his role from the upcoming Justice League movie, Momoa heads up a star-studded cast that includes Amber Heard as love interest Mera, Willem Dafoe as trusted adviser Vulko, Temuera Morrison and Nicole Kidman as Aquaman’s parents, Dolph Lundgren as rival ruler Nereus, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Black Manta, and Patrick Wilson as Ocean Master.
Warner Bros. also revealed a title treatment for the film, while Wan tweeted a photo from the first day of production, which happens to be code-named Ahab. Check them out below.
Aquaman is currently scheduled to hit theaters Dec. 21, 2018.
