Zap2it has talked to Alan Ritchson about his return to Smallville as Aquaman. Check out the article and the video interview. Check out the highlights.
When Aquaman returns, you’re going to see a whole new side of him. Ladies and gentlemen, Aquaman has gone dark. “It opens on this guy who is dark. Costumes are dark… the set is dark. This guy is moody. You don’t know what’s come over him. You just see this world-weary guy who’s obviously been around trying to deal with this stuff.”
More highlights but beware of spoilers.
The pressures of being a superhero in a dangerous time have gotten to A.C., and he takes it upon himself to try to get Clark to join the fight full-time. “It’s weighty. It was really fun to play.”
Die-hard fans know that Ritchson, as Aquaman, was recently photographed in some new clothes… specifically, a black wetsuit, which replaced the traditional orange and green one. Let’s just say orange isn’t Ritchson’s color. “When I walked in and saw the orange and green on my rack, I threw up and I left,” he jokes. The suit is a symbol of his new attitude. “That’s it, man. He’s going stealth. He’s grown up.”
Also part of the grown up package – A.C. is married! His wife, Mera, is played by Elena Satine. “His wife knows more about him than he does. It’s one of those things where it’s like you meet somebody and you’re like, ‘”Where have you been my whole life? You complete me,’ and this is where the Tom Cruise moment comes in,” Ritchson says.
