We all know that when cinematic worlds collide, something brilliant comes out as a result. And something brilliant did, in fact, come out as a scene in theAquamanmovie was inspired by a scene from Tom Hardy’s $415M movie.
TheAquamanmovie has been a major blockbuster worldwide, thanks to Jason Momoa as well as Topo- the octopus playing the drums! But little do fans know that this octopus scene was actually influenced by none other than Tom Hardy’s scene in his movieMad Max: Fury Road.

In theAquamanmovie, there is a scene where an octopus can be seen playing a drum solo throughout the fight between Aquaman and Orm. In a surprising turn of events, it has been revealed that this scene has actually been taken from the 2015 movie,Mad Max: Fury Road.
According to reports, the movieAquaman’sdirector James Wan had always wanted to include the comic book character Topo, a musically gifted octopus and Aquaman’s sidekick in the movie but was unsure about it, thinking that it might seem too silly. However, after watchingTom Hardyplay a flaming guitar in the $415M movieMad Max: Fury Road,Wan’s opinion had to change. In an interview, the director revealed,
“If that film could have a guy playing a flaming guitar, I’m going to have an octopus drummer in mine.”
That thinking certainly turned out fine – judging how Wan surprisedAquamanfans with his brilliant sense of humor.

Furthermore,James Wanwent ahead to explain his view on Topo as well as Topo’s character in theAquamanmovie. He even joked about wanting the octopus to‘hook up’with the‘flame guy’from the $415M movie.
“That’s for the hardcore fans out there because, in the comic book, Topo would play all kinds of instruments. Literally, one tentacle would be playing the harp, and then another one would be playing the violin, and the other tentacle would be playing the piano. This is my take on that. He’s playing the big Japanese drums in a tribalistic kind of way. I joke that the octo-drummer should hook up with the guitar flame guy from Mad Max: Fury Road.”
Well, whatever James Wan was thinking while including Topo certainly turned out to be amazing, as theAquamanfans are – no doubt – loving it!
