Jason Momoa Is 'Totally' Playing Aquaman in BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE After All
Well, it seems Jason Momoa has been trying to delude us regarding his unconfirmed role as Aquaman in Batman v Superman, with new potential details revealing how his character will be introduced.
It was first reported back in December last year that Jason Momoa would be joining Zack Snyder's Man of Steel follow-up, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, in an unspecified role. Since then, the Game of Thrones actor has been rumored to play Aquaman among other Justice League members. Despite laughing off those very rumors just last month, HitFix has it on good authority that Momoa will "totally" play the King of Atlantis in the 2016 film. In addition to Snyder already "finalizing his designs for the character so shooting can take place soon," the usually credible Drew McWeeny further reveals just how Aquaman will come into the picture. As many expected, it seems the mass destruction in the final act of Man of Steel will have an impact on Dawn of Justice, with Lex Luther using it to make Superman "look like a monster" and it also upsetting Aquaman. "What we're hearing is that he is not pleased about the World Engine and what it did to the Indian Ocean," says McWeeny. Though Jason Momoa won't play a major part in Batman v Superman, it seems he will definitely establish the character briefly in 2016 and return when Zack Snyder returns to direct Justice League, which is said to film back-to-back with Dawn of Justice. What do you think?
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice stars Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, with Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, Diane Lane, Jesse Eisenberg, Jeremy Irons, and Holly Hunter. The film, written by Chris Terrio from David S. Goyer's screenplay, and directed by Zack Snyder, hits May 6, 2016!
