Why Aquaman 2 even disappointed Dolph Lundgren!
The actor plays King Nereus…and he didn’t like the new direction the DC movie took after the reshoots.
We should have had more Dolph Lundgren In Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom ! According to the actor Rocky, his presence in James Wan’s film was reduced. At the same time as that of‘Amber Heard !
In an interview with ComicBook, Lundgren explains that the original script forAquaman 2 gave more space to King Nereus, the father of Meera, played by Amber Heard. But when the actress’s scenes were reduced and cut, hers disappeared too!
“I just realized that it was kind of a blanket decision: they wanted to limit Amber Heard, but I was playing her father so I was left out with her!”
In a general way, Dolph Lundgren is not gentle with Aquaman 2 and explains that the reshoots ruined the original film:
“I was disappointed for the movie fans actually. Because I thought the original script was great and the original cut – I saw a little bit of it – was really good! So I didn’t see any reason to start reshooting and reshaping the story. This is what obviously led to the disappointment of the fans and not just mine!”
Aquaman 2 points to 400 million dollars in revenue in theaters, after one month of operation, far from the billion exceeded by the first part.
