Jason Momoa Talks BATMAN v SUPERMAN: "Like It Or Not, I'm The New F***ing AQUAMAN"

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice star Jason Momoa talks here about which comic book writer he's been spending time with to prepare for the role of Aquaman, why this version of the character will have to differ from the comics, and offers shooting updates on Aquaman & Justice League...

Appearing at the Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo this past weekend, Game of Thrones alum Jason Momoa talked more about his role as Aquaman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (it's still not clear whether he will be making little more than a cameo appearance or if he'll have a full on role in the highly anticipated 2016 movie). Regardless, he did warn fans in attendance that for his take on the character to fit into the DC Cinematic Universe established in Man of Steel, there are elements from the comic books which will need to be changed for the Atlantean hero to work on the big screen. "It has to be realistic and there's a lot of stuff in the comics that won't work on the screen," said Momoa. What exactly he's referring to remains to be seen of course!

For those of you worrying that his comments mean that this Aquaman will be drastically different to the source material, Momoa is turning to a good place for inspiration. "I've been hanging out with Geoff Johns and he's a beast. He reinvented the character with the new 52," said Momoa, before adding: "Like it or not, I'm the new [frick]ing Aquaman buddy." That's obviously a message for the haters, many of whom have not been happy about the changes to the King of the Seas' appearance. Finally, the actor revealed that Justice League is currently around a year away from shooting. Aquaman meanwhile won't go in front of cameras until 2018. What do you think?

His quote about realism is just a defense tactic because he know his costume is a bit lazy.

He's probably talking about characters in the Aquaman comics, talking underwater.
I don't think they can pull that off in a live action movie

I met him once, he's just a big dude who jokes around a lot. He's not trying to act macho or anything.

So we can assume that the DC only guys who attack marvel whenever they change a heroes powers slightly are going to be equally upset about them modifying aquaman's powers right? Or is that just wishful thinking?

Momoa: Hey mother f*********s I'm here. Where's my costume?

Snyder: That was today?! Oh yeah, I knew that. Let me think.... Ok take your shirt off and put on tbjs gladiator costume. Boom! We have the new Aquaman outfit.

Great mentality, wish Gal Gadot would adopt this.

These actors want to work and want to play these characters, they have some sort of passion and fanboys will always hate and hate for no reason.

Love Jason more and more. He's not arrogant for having an opinion and calling people out.

Well . . . he certainly LOOKS badass.

So which over the top exaggeration will we hear about first:

1) At least we know he won't beat the villain in a dancing contest (you know, deciding the fate of the universe by determining who dances better).
2) At least we can look forward to the moment when he helps Superman kill the bad guy!

Man. DC fanboys are still sooo salty about Gaurdians of the Galaxy. I knew when it surpassed Man of Steel at the box office that some peoe were going to be devastated, but I figured they would move on by now. But I guess that's what happens when Marvel's D-list character becomes more popular that DC's most iconic superhero ever.

She said it but more in a "diplomatic" way I guess. But if you read into her comments thts what she was basically saying, I really liked what she had to say. Momoa will be a great Aquaman for sure and alsready adds so much to the character. His tattoos and his culture he already has inspired his costume.

This guy seems a bit spiteful. First the "[frick] Marvel" now this. Guy needs to chill. Still looking forward to Aquaman. Bring on the DCCU.

AquaMoa is an arsshole! and like it or not, fans and critiques can get you fired from being F***ing Aquaman! Especially since you suck at acting.

I hate it when these actors believe that fantastical ideas wont work on the big screen. With that theory, Superman should have never worked on the big screen because he flies, can breathe in space and shoot lasers from his eyes. They should stop underestimating the audiences desire to be entertained. Comic books appeal to the imagination of the readers, not their desire for readers to relate to the characters. And there are plenty of fantastically based movies that work because they don't care about things such as physics, logic and realism. But what do I know.

@CherryBomb She did adopt that mentality. Maybe not as much as Momoa but she doesn't care for the haters and she's said it herself.

i agree with you 100%. he comes off as arrogant and dickish. its almost like "open up your mouth and choke on it bitch!"

yeah say shit like "im the new [frick]ing Aquaman, deal with it punk ass" REALLY makes me wanna go see your movie(note sarcasm here). the only way ill see it now is if Zach Snyder comes and sucks me off

I love how DC fanboys will take passing shots at GOTG but never stick around long enough to defend their opinion and face the fact that it was more successful financially and critically.

@HAILHYDRA

I know what you mean about DC fanboys being salty about Guardians. I'm one and while I really liked it, that ending just dropped the bottom out for me, kinda like to others when Superman snapped Zod's neck. It was a fun movie. I'm not bitter about box office at all. Justin Bieber is worth 200 million dollars and Transformers: AoE was one of the most ticket-selling movies worldwide ever.

So beating box office is irrelevant to me. But my kids loved Guardians and in many ways, it served as my 7 year-old's "Star Wars". By that I mean it captured his attention and imagination in the same way Star Wars effected so many adult fans the first time we saw it. And it didn't hurt that Pratt was in it because my son got to see the "real life Emmett".

So I don't hate on Guardians. I just rolled the hell out of my eyes when Quill challenged Ronan to a dance off. To me, it really soiled the whole movie. But it was solid.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and predict that the Aquaman movie will never see the light of day. Or the dark of a movie theater.

Well, maybe we can look forward to him standing in the background with no lines in BvS. and Again just running and fighting in Justice League, no lines of course and I silent Aquaman film, that has nothing to do with Aquaman and hopefully he won't have any lines. This man poops from his mouth and his acting is worse than Tom Green. If he wasn't a big ol rood freak he would probably still be on bay watch, with no speaking lines;)
Mamoa has taken the official douchebag of the year award!
Maybe he's Ezra Millers boyfriend in BvS:DOJ their cameo is them at dinner together Flash and Aquamoa. lol
