10. 'Aquaman'

Who doesn't love a good superhero movie, right?

Jason Momoa stars as Aquaman in this Warner Bros. action packed production based on the long-running DC Comics series. Fans have been waiting for this unique comic book character to have it's debut on the big screen and it looks like they won't have to wait to much longer. While he's no Batman by a long shot, I would advise you not to put Aquaman in the corner just yet. His story is just as intriguing and captivating as his DC comic colleagues' and promises to make a big splash with characters like Amber Heard as Aquaman's love interest Mera,and Nicole Kidman playing Atlanna, Arthur Curry's mother and former queen of Atlantis. Directed by James Wan, Aquaman is due in theaters December 21, 2018.
