Just this past week, it was announced that Patrick Wilson will play Orm, potential villain and half-brother to Arthur Curry in director James Wan’sAquamanmovie. No surprise, Internet fan-art maestroBossLogichas responded in signature fashion with a new piece from his photoshop daily collection that depicts what Wilson may look like as the Ocean Master. BossLogic says this.
“Patrick Wilson - ORM for today’s requests - photoshop daily, hope you like it @patrickwilson73”
You can see Patrick Wilson in the tweet below. And he’s pretty cool looking, if not a little over the top forDC’s dark universeof superheroes. Orm is one of DC Comics newer characters. He first appeared in 2012 as part of Aquaman’s New 52 line-up. The Ocean Master title has been around a bit longer, though. It wasn’t until a few years ago that he was rebooted, becoming the second son of Queen Atlanna and a descendant of Orin. Orm is very powerful, and becomes a rival to the throne. There is a lot of drama that plays out between The King of Atlantis and his Half-Brother.
Some believe this strikes a similarity in the character arcs held by Thor and Loki in Marvel’s own Cinematic Universe. And we could definitely see some of that idea mirrored here, though hopefully in a new, fun way that is DC’s own.Patrick WilsonjoinsJason Momoaas title character Arthur Curry, who was briefly introduced inBatman V.
