Once the laughing stock of the comics stable,AQUAMAN is now set to carry the DC extended universe into a new era. TF meets the cast and joins the director in the edit bay of a standalone adventure thats more fantasy film than superhero story.
This was hell… none of it’s comfortable, that’s why it looks amazing.” growls Jason Momoa of his Atlantean armour costume from Aquaman. It’s on display in a room in The London Hotel, West Hollywood, and he’s giving Total Film a guided tour of the most chafing area. “If you look in here,” he says, tugging open the waistband with little regard for the mannequin’s modesty, “this just rubs everywhere on you. And then if you have [fake] tattoos on, the costume rubs everything off.”
It’s a truth, widely if not universally acknowledged, that actors are generally smaller in the flesh than they appear on screen. Momoa pretty much takes this concept and grinds it to dust in his Herculean palms: 6ft 4in and built like a Dothraki warrior, sporting that wild hair and bushy beard, even dressed casually in a khaki t-shirt, jeans and Birkenstock clogs, Momoa cuts an imposing presence. Or at least he would if he didn’t have such an eager, puppyish friendliness and charm. Every day is clearly an adventure, and he’s loving riding the Aquaman wave; it’s just days ahead of Aquaman’s footage debut at this July’s 2018 Comic-Con.
This current screen iteration of Aquaman is so closely tailored to Momoa’s own strengths, it’s hard to tell where he ends and Arthur Curry, heir to the throne of Atlantis, begins. “I think Aquaman definitely has a lot of me,” he says, bundling his hair up into a bun as he speaks. “I’m not that jaded, but he’s definitely ornery and playful and likes beer! He’s a bit of a smartass. We obviously have a lot of hair.”

Back With a Vengeance - Sir Ridley Scott returns to the Colosseum with Gladiator II, the long-awaited sequel to the greatest historical epic of this century. Total Film meets the director and cast to discover how Maximus' legacy is echoing in eternity.
Ridley Scott is not a filmmaker to repeat himself. It's a trait that's all the more remarkable when you consider how prolific he's been over the nearly five decades since his feature debut, 1977's The Duellists. Alien prequels Prometheus and Alien: Covenant are the only times he's gone back to the same world, and those films are radical departures from the original.
Bad Romance - Timestalker Alice Lowe falls in love with the wrong man time and time again...
Her antidote to that? Timestalker a dark not-quite-romcom set over the course of centuries. Her protagonist Agnes finds herself attracted to the same man, Alex (Dunkirk's Aneurin Barnard), in every lifetime as she's reincarnated in the 1680s, 1790s, 1980s and the 22nd century. As romantic as that may sound, there's a bit of a catch: 'He's sort of a dickhead. On the surface he's appealing, but under, he's not.'
