A couple days ago, principal photography commenced on Aquaman's first-ever solo feature. And to mark the special occasion, director James Wan and Amber Heard released new images of the 31-year-old actress as Mera, rocking her new and improved superhero suit.
And today, I have gathered together some set videos and photos that local Australian news sites captured. They provide us with a look at the crew preparing to film scenes in the enormous outdoor water tank at Village Roadshow Studios, as well as a look at the impressive fishing village set constructed at The Spit -- located near Sea World Australia.
Gold Coast Bulletin reports: "The fishing village set at The Spit — which includes two-storey shipping containers dressed as the Amnesty Bay Fish Co-Op and a shop signed Sunken Galleon — is one of several being built on the Coast for Aquaman's six-month shoot." They also have photos (click here to view) of Jason Momoa's stunt-double -- with his hair up in a ponytail -- and actors dressed as a gang of tough bikers were spotted filming scenes in front of the Sunken Galleon.
