Vulko: What You Need To Know About Willem Dafoes Aquaman Character

Vulko: What You Need To Know About Willem Dafoes Aquaman Character

We're a little over a month until Aquaman finally dives into theaters, and DC and Warner Bros's marketing for the movie has done a good job of establishing most of the movie's main players. But one character who hasn't gotten that much attention is Willem Dafoe's Nuidis Vulko. While Dafoe's involvement in Aquaman has been public knowledge for a long time, it was only until recently that we got a good look at the DC Extended Universe's version of Vulko, and the final Aquaman trailer that dropped today provided the first up-close footage of the character. Now that Vulko has been properly "introduced," it's a good time to go over who he is and why he's important to the Aquaman mythology.

Created by Bob Haney and Howard Purcell, Nuidis Vulko was introduced in 1967's The Brave and the Bold #73 as Atlantis' chief scientific adviser and arguably its most famous political figure outside of the monarchs themselves. In the pre-New 52 continuity, Vulko met Aquaman, a.k.a. Arthur Curry while they were both being held in an Atlantean prison, although Vulko had known Arthur's mother, Atlanna. When the two men escaped imprisonment and Arthur took the Atlantean throne, he made Vulko his regent.

Among Vulko's notable acts during his first couple decades of existence included helping Aquaman and The Atom repel microscopic invaders coming from a single droplet of water, ruling over Atlantis for a time and outfitting a harpoon to replace Aquaman's missing hand, which had been bitten off by piranhas. But Vulko wasn't always by Arthur Curry's side. At one point he abandoned the king and joined an underground city, though he eventually returned. Then during the Obsidian Age, when all of Atlantis was transported back in time thousands of years, the continent was subsequently raised and sunk again, and then taken over Gamemnae, Vulko was among the individuals who sentenced Aquaman to die.

The pre-New 52 Nuidis Vulko died when The Spectre, God's spirit of vengeance, destroyed Atlantis and most of its citizens while he was temporarily unhinged and convinced all sources of magic needed to be eliminated, including Atlantean sorcerers. However, the ghost of Vulko later became a mentor to the second Aquaman, Arthur Joseph Curry (similar name as his predecessor, but definitely a different individual). Once the New 52 rebooted the DC universe in 2011, not only was Vulko restored to life (and made younger), he became a significantly more important character in Aquaman's life.

In this continuity, like his earlier iteration, Nuidis Vulko was Atlantis' chief scientific adviser, only when he failed to prove that Orm, a.k.a. Ocean Master, Arthur Curry's half-brother, killed his mother, he was forced to flee Atlantis before Orm's loyalists could arrest him. Vulko subsequently began a new life in Norway, but years later, he was found by a young Arthur Curry, who'd been raised on the surface and was now interested in learning about his Atlantean heritage.

Thanks to Vulko, Arthur Curry visited Atlantis, learned about its history and discovered that he was the first-born to Queen Atlanna, thus making him the rightful heir to the Atlantean throne. Vulko was rather insistent that Arthur become Atlantis' king, as he feared Orm would lead the underwater nation to ruin, but instead, Arthur left Orm in charge, provided that he didn't invade the surface.

Now here's where things get interesting, and quite possibly could foreshadow what's in store for Willem Dafoe's Vulko in the Aquaman movie. During the Throne of Atlantis crossover storyline, Orm declared war on humanity after the missiles aboard a United States nuclear submarine malfunctioned and were launched at Atlantis. Using Atlantean technology, Orm and his followers then flooded many of the United States' biggest cities and invaded. Vulko jumped into action and helped Aquaman and the Justice League, but we later learned that he was the one who instigated this war between Atlantis and the surface.

Having grown tired of his life of exile and wanting Arthur to finally become king of Atlantis, Vulko engineered this conflict so that Arthur would have no choice but to overthrow Orm, even going so far as to use the Scepter of the Dead King (which he'd hired Black Manta to steal) to control the monstrous Trench and bring them into this mess. Vulko's plan worked, as Arthur did indeed defeat Orm and take back the throne, though he dragged Vulko back to Atlantis and threw him in a prison cell for his crimes. Since then, while Vulko keeps insisting that he's looking out for Arthur's best interests and remains loyal to him, Arthur is still distrustful towards his former ally, seeing him as nothing more than a shrewd political manipulator.

Which brings us to Willem Dafoe's Nuidis Vulko, who was originally supposed to be introduced in Justice League last year, but had his scenes cut out. As seen in the trailer, Vulko helped the young Arthur Curry channel his special abilities and train in Atlantean combat. Director James Wan said back in July that he sees Vulko as having a Mr. Miyagi/Daniel LaRusso or Obi-Wan Kenobi/Luke Skywalker relationship with Arthur.

Aside from being one of Arthur Curry's allies, we don't really know what to expect from Nuidis Vulko in Aquaman, although given his comic book history, I can't help but wonder if he's a secret threat. Ocean Master is Aquaman's main villain and Black Manta the secondary antagonist, but what if Willem Dafoe's Vulko has worked behind the scenes and is ultimately responsible for the events unfolding the way they do. Like his comic book counterpart, Vulko's actions would presumably, in his eyes, help Arthur in the long run, although since they would also result in countless casualties, you can bet our intrepid superhero would not be on board with Vulko's schemes.

On the other hand, maybe Aquaman is going in a different direction with Vulko. Maybe he is a legitimate ally to Arthur Curry through the entirety of the movie, or maybe he's a full-blown villain, and the reason he wants Arthur to recover that trident is so he can deliver it to Orm, as Vulko, for whatever reason, no longer sees Arthur as capable of effectively ruling Atlantis. With so little footage of him to work off of, it's hard to say one way or the other, but I doesn't look like we have to worry about Vulko not getting that much screen time.

We'll see what Aquaman has in store for Nuidis Vulko and the movie's other characters when it arrives on December 21. In case you're wondering what else the DCEU has coming down the pipeline, check out our DC movies guide for that information.

Jamie Dornan Reveals Why Joining The Fifty Shades Films Was Not The Easiest Decision

Jamie Dornan Reveals Why Joining The Fifty Shades Films Was Not The Easiest Decision

Joining a franchise like Fifty Shades is no easy decision. At least, Fifty Shades of Grey lead Jamie Dornan feels that way. The actor recently told the Out to Lunch with Jay Rayner podcast that while there were plenty of pros to playing Christian Grey, the decision was an odd one. He revealed:

It was very odd to be honest, because you are presented with this incredible opportunity that is going to have a big impact on your life and change many things. To be honest, mostly financially, but again in [my] career [it] opened so many doors. But you sort of know its going to get panned. Very strange thing.

Incredible opportunity and big impact are both phrases that should make fans realize Jamie Dornan did know the movies would be good for his career and his wallet. However, the response to E.L. James books had always been very polarizing, well before Sam Taylor-Johnsons Fifty Shades of Grey was filmed.

People of all ages and genders love the books; they are wildly popular and have a special place in the hearts of many. But unlike some programs that are popular -- Game of Thrones comes to mind the faction of people who are critical about the Fifty Shades series is also a large one. Jamie Dornan knew there would be plenty of scrutiny when he was being presented with the opportunity to play Christian Grey.

The fact that joining the franchise was not an easy decision to make is also highlighted by the knowledge that Jamie Dornan wasnt the first man cast in the role. Sons of Anarchy alum Charlie Hunnam originally had the gig.

Charlie Hunnams cited several reasons he ultimately bailed, including scheduling and being a total germaphobe. There are definite pros and cons to bringing a sexy book character to life on the big screen.

Jamie Dornans perspective on the way he thought things would shake out seems pretty reasonable, all things considered. Still, he noted that ultimately when he did take the job, the actual acting work was mostly just like any other set.

Youre trying to do the best you can and make the best of it but we knew that because the books were sort of adored by many, bought by many, but panned by many, it was probably going to be the same thing for the movies. Its not like suddenly everyone who thought the book was badly written was going to be like, Oh but the films very good. They were a great joy to be a part of and a crazy journey to go on, but also, above everything else, they are just a job on a film set. Its no different than anything else; youre just simulating more sex.

The notoriety, however, I would guess is another thing. It should be no surprise to anyone even those who have never put on a single Fifty Shades movie before there is a lot of sex in Fifty Shades of Grey and its two sequels. The series' claim to fame was putting BDSM fantasies for average individuals out into the world, after all.

Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson have been open in the past about how they got through filming the sex scenes. (Hint: he does a lot of push ups). Dornan revealed on Jay Rayners podcast that he did not know Johnson before filming Fifty Shades of Grey, so getting the chemistry right likely took work.

Plus, we know from Dakota Johnson that sometimes those sex scenes could be pretty tedious to make new, unique and interesting for the fanbase. So, the fact the job was similar to other movie gigs should not come as a huge shock.

Unfortunately for fans, Jamie Dornans time as Christian Grey has ended, but if you cared more about the actors chiseled abs than his Fifty Shades Freed character, you can see him in upcoming projects like Synchronic.
