Aquaman Movie Adds Randall Park in Reshoots

A very important character in the current comic book mythology of Arthur Curry, aka Aquaman, has just been added to the cast of the live-action movie, which is currently in reshoots. Director James “Creepy Puppet” Wan revealed the news on Twitter when he posted a photo of himself with Randall Park (Snatched) and the hashtag #DrShin.

In the comics, Dr. Stephen Shin was a marine biologist who helped Arthur control and develop his Atlantean powers in childhood. Dr. Shin eventually turned sinister when he became obsessed with Atlantis and Atlantean technology and even threatened to kill Arthur if he wouldn’t reveal the undersea kingdom’s location.

Here’s the tweet:

So happy and fortunate to be finally working with this man, @parkrandall, on pickups. #DrShin pic.twitter.com/q95PFEUSC2
