New details from the Justice League set visit have revealed that not only will the Mother Boxes be the focus of the film, but also the history surrounding them will involve the Amazonians and the Atlanteans. It's also been revealed that Willem Dafoe will be playing Aquaman's (Jason Momoa) mentor, Vulko. The aquatic warriors seem to be playing a huge role throughout the film, and it looks like there has been another addition to the ever-growing cast of Atlanteans in Justice League.

According to IGN, Game of Thrones' Kristofer Hivju has joined the cast of Justice League as an ancient Atlantean king. Various reports revealed that the Atlanteans and Amazonians each took ownership of one of three Mother Boxes when they were sent to Earth, and it looks like Kristofer Hivju will be seen as the Atlantean king that will come into possession of one of those Mother Boxes. Other reports from Collider indicate that history of the three Mother Boxes will be explained in detail during the film, and Zeus will also play a role in that history.

What do you think about the addition of Kristofer Hivju as an ancient Atlantean king in Justice League?

Justice League hits theaters November 17th, 2017.

Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.

Justice League stars Herny Cavill as Superman/Clark Kent, Ben Affleck as Batman/Bruce Wayne, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman/Diana Prince, Jason Momoa as Aquaman/Arthur Curry, Ezra Miller as The Flash/Barry Allen, Ray Fisher as Cyborg/Victor Stone, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Amber Heard as Mera, J.K. Simmons as Commissioner James Gordon, Willem Dafoe as Vulko, and Kristofer Hivju as an ancient Atlantean king. The film is directed by Zack Snyder and written by Chris Terrio.

I love this. It shows diversity amongst the Atlanteans. My guess is that he will get with an Amazon and create a superior being in the modern Atlantis.

ALegendaryPanda - 6/21/2016, 8:21 AM

TORMUND!! [frick] yeah!

Kr08 - 6/21/2016, 8:24 AM

It would be great if he comes back in a future Aquaman movie as the Dead King!

BlackPhillip - 6/21/2016, 8:24 AM
