Jason Momoa Believes AQUAMAN Will "Absolutely Be Involved In The DCU"

There have been conflicting reports about Jason Momoa's future in the new DCU following the release of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, but the actor believes he will "absolutely" be sticking around...

Jason Momoa is set to reprise the role of Arthur Curry for James Wan's Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, but will he remain on as the Atlantean hero in the new DCU that will soon begin to take shape?

We've had conflicting reports about Momoa's future as the character - and his status has only become more confusing since the whole Lobo thing - but the Fast X star seems confident that he will continue to play Aquaman moving forward.

"Peter [Safran]’s my producer [on Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom], and is a dear friend," Momoa tells Total Film. "I absolutely think Aquaman will be involved in the DCU. It’s on, bro – there’s no one bigger than Aquaman! But, also, I hope people are excited to see the new one. It’s fun. I really enjoy doing comedy. There’s some really funny stuff with Patrick Wilson. I really adore him. We had a great time working together. It’s like we’re brothers. There’s a lot of cool stuff happening in this one."

Momoa's comments are in stark contrast to recent rumors about The Lost Kingdom test screenings being an outright "disaster," with one source claiming that the actor was unhappy with the sequel, and wanted out of the part so he'd be free to play Lobo.

We have no idea how accurate these reports are, but James Gunn did confirm that he wouldn't have an actor play two different roles.

Would you like to see Momoa stay on as Aquaman, or would you rather he ditched the role for Lobo? Drop us a comment down below.

@KWilly - Yeah she's messed up in the head but I would still bang her given the chance.

@Shivermetimbers - I mean the person whose pillows she shit on had a drug overdosing River Phoenix dragged to the sidewalk instead of 911ing. So I am cool with it.

@GarthRanzz - Exactly. Its not like Depp was just some choir boy, while Heard was acting like a lunatic. It was a toxic relationship. She did some pretty despicable things, but nothing that should end her career in my opinion.

Are they going to advertise this movie, or pull a Shazam 2?
And they don't have a Michael "I'm Batman" Keaton to mic drop in the middle of their trailer. They do have an Amber Heard that they can try to hide though.

Glad to see he was kept on due purely on what he brings to the role! I can clearly see why DC films has been so successful!

This film is about to be the worst action comedy of the year

@DaRealCapClunge - Yeah his comments about comedy are not inspiring confidence in this one.

@Shivermetimbers - comedy was the worst part of the first movie.........besides that Pitbull song

I kinda doubt it. Unless The Flash and The Lost Kingdom do really well, I think it's bye-bye DCEU characters. Actors might return though, but in different roles.

Should have released Shazam and this one straight to their streaming service and put all of the distribution savings into marketing for The Flash, advertising it as the big DC universe resetting.
