Michael Beach is set for a role in Warner Bros’ Jason Momoa-starring DC Comics stand-alone film Aquaman. He joins Amber Heard, Nicole Kidman, Willem Dafoe, Patrick Wilson, Ludi Lin, Dolph Lundgren, Temuera Morrison and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II in the cast. James Wan is at the helm of the pic, which will hit theater during Christmas season 2018.

Warner Bros says Beach will play Jesse Kane, part of a group of high-seas hijackers who has a fateful interaction with Aquaman. But fans have been speculating that Beach is taking on the role of father to Abdul-Mateen II’s Black Manta, after Abdul-Mateen II himself posted a photo with Beach last month on his Twitter from Australia, where Aquaman was in production.

Beach fanned the flames when the Third Watch alum gave a vague non-denial denial when asked about whether he is playing the father. In one version the comics, Aquaman inadvertently kills Black Mantra’s father, which sends him on a vindictive spree. Warner Bros is staying mum on this.

Best part of Brightest Day was Manta living a peaceful life until he realised Aquaman was back, then killing everyone in the diner and just walking into the sea. Dude is an amazing piece of shit,
