Warner Bros. debuted the first full Aquaman movie poster Monday ahead of its Saturday San Diego Comic-Con trailer debut — and fans are saying “shell yeah.”

The poster sees Jason Momoa’s aquatic superhero submerged deep in the ocean surrounded by numerous sharks, turtles, whales, and other sea life. Less-serious looking than typical DC Films fare, Momoa’s beefy Arthur Curry wields his Quindent (not a trident) with a smirk befitting of his rambunctious jeans-wearing, tattoo-sporting, Whiskey-chugging superhero.

Steered by fan-favorite director James Wan (The Conjuring, Furious 7), Aquaman sees the return of Justice League‘s Amber Heard as Mera and introduces franchise newcomers Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (Black Manta), Dolph Lundgren (King Nereus), Ludi Min (Murk), Temuera Morrison (Thomas Curry), Patrick Wilson (Ocean Master), Willem Dafoe (Vulko) and Nicole Kidman (Atlanna).

Aquaman swims into theaters December 21.

Not Fin-tastic, Could Be Better

I feel like the aquaman poster is one of the worst uses of photoshop ever ??

Even the official poster for #Aquaman looks trash. Lol

Aquaman poster doesn’t really do anything for me, which is a shame. Not a bad poster, although it is very average, but I just have no faith in DCEU now.
