Why did they give Patrick Wilson a blonde wig?


In the comics Orm has short dark hair. If anything all they had to do was give him short dark hair piece. That blonde wig made him look like Legolas from Lord of the Rings

People with blonde hair makes one look more like a villain

I'd say it was to better visually differentiate him from the dark-haired Aquaman character in the movie where people's attention need more help concentrating and following what's going on.

Also, the whole strawberry blonde thing is very fantasy TV show-ish in the 2010s.

Well, they wanted him to look notably different than Jason Momoa, they wanted his wig to look like Nicole Kidman's to make it look like they were related, they wanted him to look like some sort of Aryan ideal, and they wanted to make him look creepy.

Men look creepy in platinum blonde wigs. That's just a fact of nature.

He should play Fred in Scooby-Doo.
