James Wan Confirms Randall Park Role as Dr. Shin in Aquaman

Aquaman director James Wan has confirmed through his official Twitter account that actor Randall Park is playing Dr. Shin in the movie.

In the comics, Stephen Shin is a professor of theoretical marine biology and a friend to Aquaman’s father Tom Curry, who’s being played by Temuera Morrison in the movie. Shin then helps Arthur Curry/Aquaman (Jason Momoa) as a child develop his powers, but later becomes obsessed with the location of Atlantis.

Dr. Shin is first introduced in the New 52 Aquaman comics, appearing in issue #3 in 2011. The character is also seen in the DC Comics animated movie Justice League: Throne of Atlantis.

So happy and fortunate to be finally working with this man, @parkrandall, on pickups. #DrShin pic.twitter.com/q95PFEUSC2
