Dolph Lundgren is back as King Nereus — and he has the lovely locks to prove it!

The action star plays the king of the underwater kingdom of Xebel who is also the father to Amber Heard's character, Mera.

"Hanging out in my trailer on Aquaman 2," Lundgren, 63, captioned the behind-the-scenes shot. "Great script, great director, terrific cast and a fantastic crew. Really enjoying it! 🧜🏼‍♂️."

Along with the red hair, Lundgren sported an all-black outfit and matching sneakers.

The star isn't the only Aquaman actor to transform his mane for the upcoming DC Extended Universe superhero film.

In July, Jason Momoa revealed on Instagram that he was ditching his naturally brunette 'do and going blonde for the role of Aquaman.

"This is the last day of the brown. I'm gonna be a blonde," Momoa said. "They supposedly have more fun. I don't know about that; we'll test it out."

The 42-year-old actor previously had blonde highlights to play the superhero. It's unclear if he'll go fully blonde this time around or just dye his ends again.

"London calling!… so excited to start Aqua-man 2, we are here! goodbye brown hello blondie!" Momoa captioned the video.

"Second round. New suit. More action. #aquaman Aloha j," Momoa captioned a set of images on Instagram.

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is slated for release in December 2022.
