Aquaman: Dolph Lundgren’s Character Differs from Comics
Dolph Lundgren's King Nereus will be a bit different in the upcoming Aquaman solo film than he is in the comics.
In an interview with Las Vegas Review Journal, Lundgren revealed King Nereus will actually be Mera's (Amber Heard) father in the movie. In the comics, the two characters were set to be betrothed to one another, with Mera eventually falling in love with Aquaman instead.
"Basically, I try to keep the peace down there along with Amber Heard, who plays my daughter," Lundgren said. "She's trying to convince me to join the right side. Then you have Nicole Kidman as Aquaman's mother. We're trying to avoid war between the surface dwells and the people of Atlantis."

PUBG and Fortnite Push H1Z1 Player Count Way Down
H1Z1: King of the Hill's player base of the game has plummeted by 91 percent since July 2017.
H1Z1's battle royale mode popularised the genre, but with the release of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, and Fortnite's battle royale mode, the title has struggled to retain players, with GiyHyp reporting the drastic drop in players over the last seven months.
The game's popular King of the Hill mode - available to buy separately alongside the Just Survive mode - managed to make the title the third most-played game on Steam during its heyday, peaking at 150,000 players with an average of 86,000 people playing per hour.
