Willem Dafoe Says Vulko Will Be in JUSTICE LEAGUE and Will Be a Big Part of AQUAMAN
It was confirmed earlier this year that Willem Dafoe would be appearing in Justice League as Aquaman main character Nuidis Vulko. For those not familiar with the Aquaman universe, Vulko is an Atlantean scientist and essentially an advisor/confidant to Aquaman.
Getting back to the news of the day, Dafoe has indicated in an interview with The Guardian that while Vulko will have a small role in Justice League, he will be a principal character in Aquaman:
Well, Justice League is very particular because it’s an ensemble movie and my character is being introduced here in order to be a principal role in Aquaman. These films are a different experience. They have different responsibilities, different resources and different intentions. It’s nice to go between those worlds if you can. They serve different impulses.
Seems pretty straightforward to me! While I would love to see more Dafoe in most films, is no one going to bring up he looks absolutely nothing like Nuidis Vulko? I guess some actors do transcend the "THEY DON'T LOOK LIKE THE CHARACTER" complaint after all...
