"Theres been some adjustments. Not even adjustments its like anything, you use the source material and something is born from that. But I dont really look like he does in the comic, and his role is slightly different. He is an advisor, but hes also sort of a mentor to Aquaman."
When I asked Dafoe whether Vulko is a good guy in Aquaman, he said yes, but hinted that theres some room for variation:
"Id say so. If you want to get down to those kind of categorizations. I dont need to, I know why people do it because weve got to describe things sometimes. Everybodys a mix, [laughs] good and bad."
"Most of my scenes are underwater. Some are not. So much of it, because were talking, and shooting underwater is a lot of ways impractical because youre limited to what you can do with sets. Its more about shooting them dry for wet, and then the effects do certain things to give the water feel. But we arent doing the scenes underwater, but we are in harnesses and on wires. There is movement. Its not like were all sitting around pretending were underwater like this [stands up still], were swimming around, were moving. So that should be really beautiful."
