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?
