With just under three weeks left until Warner Bros. unleashed Aquaman in theaters, the studio held a fan screening in New York with stars Jason Momoa (Aquaman) and Amber Heard (Mera).
Momoa, 39, and Heard, 32, were joined by their co-stars Patrick Wilson (Orm the Ocean Master) and Willem Dafoe (Nuidis Vulko) and director James Wan.
Momoa even brought out his title character’s iconic gold trident to show the fans at this early screening.

While the Aquaman reviews haven’t come in yet, early reactions have been quite positive following the world premiere in London on Monday.
Slash Film’s Peter Sciretta said, ‘Aquaman is better than expected. Feels like a Marvel phase one movie, in a good way. It’s at its best when it’s having fun and not taking itself too seriously.’
Fandango’s Erik Davis added that Aquaman is the, ‘most ambitious DC movie to date.’

Momoa gave fans the first look at Aquaman in 2016’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and he returned in 2017’s Justice League.
Mera made her debut in Justice League, with Wilson’s Orm the Ocean Master and Dafoe’s Nuidis Vulko set to be introduced in Aquaman.
The movie is shaping up to be one of the last blockbusters of the year, although it faces some stiff competition on December 21.
