Nicole Kidman might star in Aquaman

Actor Nicole Kidman is in early negotiations to join the cast of Aquaman as the mother of the superhero, played by Jason Momoa.

Warner Bros' Aquaman, being helmed by James Wan, will release in October 2018. Aquaman is based on the DC Comics character who is king of Atlantis, born half-human as Arthur Curry and half-Atlantean.

Aquaman's mother is Atlanna, who has escaped the underwater kingdom and had a son with a lighthouse keeper, reports variety.com.

The production on Aquaman will start in April in Australia. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, who starred on Netflix's 'The Get Down', has been tapped to play the villain Black Manta.

Amber Heard is playing Mera, Aquaman's love interest, and Willem Dafoe will portray Aquaman's science advisor, Dr. Vulko.
