Willem DaFoe Talks Filming The Under Water Scenes In Aquaman

Willem DeFoe is currently doing interviews for his role in the upcoming Death Note movie but he also talked about his role as Vulko, an advisor to Authur Curry aka Aquaman, and DeFoe spoke to Screen Crush about how his character is different from the Vulko of the comics.

There's been some adjustments. Not even adjustments – it's like anything, you use the source material and something is born from that. But I don't really look like he does in the comic, and his role is slightly different. He is an advisor, but he's also sort of a mentor to Aquaman.

When specifically asked if Vulko was a good guy DeFoe dodged the question but made it sound he's mostly a good guy but that could change.

I'd say so. If you want to get down to those kind of categorizations. I don't need to, I know why people do it because we've got to describe things sometimes. Everybody's a mix, [laughs] good and bad.

When it comes to shooting the under water scenes DeFoe gave us some idea of how director James Wan is making it look like everyone is under water.

Most of my scenes are underwater. Some are not. So much of it, because we're talking, and shooting underwater is a lot of ways impractical because you're limited to what you can do with sets. It's more about shooting them dry for wet, and then the effects do certain things to give the water feel. But we aren't doing the scenes underwater, but we are in harnesses and on wires. There is movement. It's not like were all sitting around pretending were underwater like this [stands up still], we're swimming around, we're moving. So that should be really beautiful.

We'll get our fist look of DeFoe as Vulko in Justice League this November.
