Aquaman set rises from rocky headland at whale-watching hotspot Hastings Point

IT doesn’t look like much but this scaffolding is superhero Aquaman’s famous lighthouse home. And it’s rapidly rising at a popular beachside location near you as shooting of the blockbuster continues.

THE birthplace of a gilled superhero is rising from a rocky headland at Hastings Point.

Crew working on Gold Coast-based Warner Bros. blockbuster Aquaman have begun building an elaborate lighthouse set at the northern NSW holiday hotspot.

CAMERAS BEGIN ROLLING ON AQUAMAN

The location shoot will feature Kiwi actor Temuera Morrison, who plays Aquaman’s lighthouse keeper father Tom Curry. It is not yet known if Aquaman stars Jason Momoa, Amber Heard, Patrick Wilson or Nicole Kidman will join him.

While Aquaman is expected to spend eight weeks at the site, Hastings Point headland will only be closed to the public for a few days in August when cameras roll.
