<p>Aquaman will play a major role in this year&#8217;s DC superhero team-up <em>Justice League</em>. Director and birthday boy Zack Snyder has now tweeted some test footage from the movie, which shows Aquaman, played by Jason Momoa, in his underwater world. Check it out below:</p>

<p>A new trailer for <em>Justice League</em> is expected soon, but in the meantime we&#8217;ve had a variety of images from the movie, <a href="http://ift.tt/2jrWJMc">including this shot of the team together</a>. In addition, Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot also posted a new image of Snyder on set&#8211;<a href="http://ift.tt/2luomAM">check it out here</a>.</p>
<p><em>Justice League</em> also stars Ben Affleck as Batman, Ezra Miller as Flash, and Ray Fisher as Cyborg. The movie is released on November 17, and also features <a href="http://ift.tt/2aX52Kr">Henry Cavill as Superman</a>, <a href="http://ift.tt/2dcU6pG">Amber Heard as Mera</a>, <a href="http://ift.tt/2cYvztR">JK Simmons as Commissioner Gordon</a>, and <a href="http://ift.tt/2fN07PR">Ciaran Hinds</a> <a href="http://ift.tt/2fN07PR">as the villainous Steppenwolf</a>.</p>
<p>In a recent interview with <a href="http://ift.tt/2kP9nVR">Heroic Hollywood</a>, visual effects supervisor Bryan Hirota spoke about the film&#8217;s tone, and whether it would be a reaction to the negative response to last year <em>Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice</em>. &quot;<i>Justice </i><i>League</i> was always the rebirth of hope and the rise,&quot; he said. &quot;People try to say that it&#8217;s a response to the backlash, and I&#8217;d definitely say that criticisms were heard. But it&#8217;s not like we threw everything out and started with a blank slate.</p>
<p>&quot;It&#8217;s a bit like <i>Star</i> <i>Wars</i>. <i>Empire </i><i>Strikes</i> <i>Back</i>? Dark movie! But then <i>Return</i> <i>of</i> <i>the</i> <i>Jedi</i> is the rise and the rebuilding of hope.&quot;</p>
<p>In related news, last week it was confirmed that <em>Rise of the Planet of the Apes</em> director <a href="http://ift.tt/2kRoHSK">Matt Reeves had signed in to direct the standalone Batman movie</a>, currently known as <em>The Batman</em>. Affleck was originally slated to direct, but <a href="http://ift.tt/2joPGnP">last month stepped down</a> to concentrate on acting and co-writing the film&#8217;s script.</p>
