‘Aquaman’ will feature a massive sea dragon instead of the seahorse he’s usually mocked for

Part of the reason why Zack Snyder cast Jason Momoa as Aquaman is because he wanted to make him cool. Aquaman is a character that’s typically mocked in pop culture, and with the Aquaman movie they’re additional taking steps to change that.

Take for example concept art of a sea dragon from the movie, above. According to Entertainment Weekly, the sea dragons are ridden by the people of Xebel — one of the seven underwater kingdoms of Atlantis, their leader is King Nereus (Dolph Lundgren) and Mera (Amber Heard) is one of their warriors.
