Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Kidman explained director James Wan played a significant role in convincing her to join the film.

"The reason why I love ['Aquaman'] is James Wan is an Australian, and I've followed his career since he started," she said. "He's a really good friend of mine, and he offered to let me play Queen Atlanna. As soon as he said I could wear mother-of-pearl and be a mermaid warrior, I said I'm done. Please. If there is one thing I have to do in my life, I have to be that. [Laughs] Because, you’ve got to have some fun."
