'Aquaman' Cast News & Update: Patrick Wilson Joins As Aquaman's Supervillain Brother Orm aka Ocean Master

Patrick Wilson will wreck havoc in the upcoming movie, "Aquaman." The actor will play Arthur Joseph Curry's (Aquaman) evil half brother, Orm Curry, also known as Ocean Master. Orm shares a deep sibling rivalry with Arthur, a reluctant hero and also the king of Atlantis.

Orm Curry is the son of Tom Curry with a human named Mary O'Sullivan. As a full human, he grew up behind the shadows of the hero, Aquaman and resented him for it. He started committing petty crimes and reappeared as Orm Marius aka Ocean Master several years after disappearing and suffering amnesia. According to a report, Ocean Master will be Aquaman's rival to the throne.

In the original DC comic, Orm became a high-tech pirate who attacks ships and causes natural disasters to extort money. However, Aquaman was not able to fight him after realizing that he is his half-brother. Ocean Master later recovered his memories but he still continued his plot against Aquaman and seize his throne.

Ocean Master is talented in magic manipulation. He had a deal with a demon called Neron to improve his powers; however, his face was left with a horrible scar in the process. He was also given a trident to control his powers but he suffers severe pain whenever he is separated from the trident. He had a special costume and helmet to breathe underwater.

Wilson is known for his roles in supernatural thriller films, Insidious (2010) and Insidious: Chapter 2 (2013), as well as The Conjuring (2013) and The Conjuring 2 (2016) which earned him the reputation as the "scream king."

Jason Momoa will play the titular character of Aquaman while Amber Heard will play Mera. On a previous report, Momoa talked about his role as Arthur in the upcoming movie. "Aquaman" will premiere on Oct 5, 2018. The movie will start filming in 2017.
