Meanwhile, Moore is set to play the role of DC’s classic character name Karshon who originally appeared as a shark villain in the Green Lantern back in 1963. Karshon was initially a normal shark until he was hit with radiation which caused increased intelligence and telepathic powers.

In addition, Regan will play the ancient ruler of Atlantis named Atlan who was first introduced in the original film through flashback scenes. Fans can also expect to see returning faces such as Patrick Wilson (Orm), Amber Heard (Mera), Yahya Abdul-Mateen ll, and Dolph Lundgren (Nereus).
