Many questions persist as to how Wan will approach the story of Arthur Curry and a recent interview with MTV News has (for the time being) shed a little more light on the issue of Wan’s version of the Atlantean King as well as the question of the character’s origins.
“There’s Justice League that happens before it, so I have to be respectful to that. But in a lot of ways… it’s a continuation but there are origin elements as well — and that’s the story that I’m excited to tell.”
Though there isn’t a lot in that statement to help define exactly what Wan’s vision entails in terms of an origin story, the director did speak about his fondness for Aquaman as a sort of underdog character, and the opportunity his upcoming film will provide in bringing something altogether unexpected to life.
“A big part of it was me telling them what potential I saw in this character. As we all know, Aquaman is somewhat the butt of the joke in the superhero world. There’s something cool about that. I love the idea of being the underdog, coming in with a take on this underdog character and completely blow people’s expectations away. Like, ’Oh, you thought he was going to be a wimpy character? No no no.’ It’s going to be so cool.”

(Makes about 3 dozen)
3 cups All Purpose Flour
5 oz Sour Cream
4 Tblsp Butter
1 Egg
Measure out the flour and fold in the sour cream and softened butter. Mix to an even consistency. Beat the egg in a measuring cup, then add enough water to measure ¾ cup total. Fold the egg measure into the dry mixture. If it remains to be sticky after a complete mixing, then add additional flour in small increments until it kneads into a soft dough. Place in a deep bowl and cover with a damp cloth.
MUSHROOM AND POTATO
3 to 4 Large Potatoes
8 oz Mushrooms (Crimini or Baby Bellas)
1 Clove Garlic
1 Large Yellow Onion- Diced
3 Tblsp Sunflower, Vegetable or Olive Oil
Peel and skin the potatoes, then boil until soft. Mash the potatoes and set aside to cool. Slice the garlic and sauté with the oil in a skillet on high heat. Use a wood spoon or spatula and crush the garlic in the oil. Allow to heat for about 3 minutes. Add the onions with the drained mushrooms. Stir frequently until the mushrooms are browned and slightly crispy (30-40 minutes) or to your preference. Thoroughly combine the potatoes and mushroom mixture.
SAUERKRAUT AND POTATO
1 14 oz can of sauerkraut
1 Large Yellow Onion - Diced
3 to 4 Large Potatoes
3 Tblsp Sunflower oil or Vegetable oil
Peel and skin the potatoes, then boil until soft. Mash the potatoes and set aside to cool. Sauté the onions in the oil in a skillet on high heat. Completely drain the sauerkraut and add to the onions. Stir frequently and heat until the sauerkraut is browned. Thoroughly mix with the potatoes.
POTATO AND CHEESE
8 oz Sharp Cheddar Cheese
3 to 4 Large Potatoes
Peel and skin the potatoes, then boil until soft. Mash the potatoes and set aside to cool. Slice the cheese into small cubes, about ¼ inch in size.Thoroughly mix with the mashed potatoes.
Bring a large pot of water to boil, then add a little vegetable oil. Roll a piece dough out into a long rope, about ¾ to 1 inch in diameter. Slice into approximate cubes. Roll each cube into a ball. Press fat and roll out into a thin circle. Scoop approximately one heaping teaspoon of filling into the center of the circle. Fold in half and pinch the edges shut to prevent any filling from falling out. Slightly flatten to distribute the filling evenly. Drop into the boiling water. Cook until the varenyky floats flat on the surface of the water. Usually this takes about 2 to 4 minutes depending on the size. When it’s done, use a large flat slotted spoon to lift the Varenyky from the water, allowing the water to drain off. Place on a rack to drain and allow to cool. Freeze immediately or sauté in butter and onions.
