Ludi Lin Cast As Murk In Aquaman Movie

Ludi Lin, who played the Black Ranger in the recent Power
Rangers movie, has been cast in DC’s 2018 superhero film
Aquaman.

According to Deadline, Lin will play Murk, the Commander of the Atlantian Royal Guard and
leader of the Men-Of-War, the frontline army for Atlantis. He joins
Jason Mamoa, who plays the titular role, which will be directed by
James Wan (The Conjuring).

Murk is a relatively new character who first appeared in 2013 in
Aquaman #17. He wascreated by Geoff Johns and Paul
Pelletier. While Murk is extremely loyal to Atlantis and its
people, there have been numerous occasions where this complex
character is untrusting and questions the loyalty of Aquaman and
Aquaman’s wife Mera.

Lin joins Dolph Lungren, who plays King Nereus, along
with The Get Down star Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, who plays Aquaman’s
arch-nemesis Black Manta. Although it was originally slated for
an October 2018 release, Aquaman has been pushed back and will now come
out on December 21, 2018.
