Jason Momoa Allegedly Cast as Aquaman

Last updated by on

We've heard the rumor before but now one source is saying the actor's "totally" going to be Arthur Curry in 'Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice.'

No Caption Provided

Well, it looks like we can potentially add another character to the cast of Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. HitFix is claiming Aquaman's appearance will just be a cameo to help set him up for Justice League. The website says they've confirmed Momoa has landed the role and director Zack Snyder has "already finalized his designs for the character so shooting can take place soon."

No Caption Provided

So, why will the King of Atlantis appear in the upcoming DC movie? The website states Arthur Curry will likely make a cameo because he's not pleased about what happened with the World Engine and the Indian Ocean.

Viners, can you picture Momoa wielding the Trident? Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice opens May 6, 2016.

@fallschirmjager: Yeah, his hair color is /kinda/ important, if I'm not mistaken, he's the only blonde Atlantean, but if he's not, I won't rage over it.

Decent enough actor. At least we don't have to be worried about Aquaman not being a badass lol

Also, I don't give a crap if he's blonde or not. not really that important.

feels :3

I was waiting for your input.

Not a fan of the choice, he doesn't look like Arthur at all . I'd rather see him play Orm.

I guess we'll wait and see.

McWeeny is a fairly reliable source, as I recall he also broke the news about Liam Neeson secretly filming for TDKR.

Anyway, visual aid:

Can you picture Khal Drogo looking up at a massive Starro cluster and going "Outrageous!"?

That's awful.

I like Jason Mamoa. He wasn't even on my radar as a potential Aquaman.

@captainhoopla

He also was a main character of the TV show Stargate Atlantis.

I am extremely excited for him in this role. I agree that he can help bring a lot of credibility to an already great character.

I guess I don't care. I've never heard of Jason Momoa. Seriously, who is he and what's he been in before?

Excellent casting choice!! But please… No… more… this movie is far too crowded, even if this is just a cameo. How are all these heroes just now showing up?! How did Aquaman not react immediately when the World Engine kind of nearly obliterated the Indian Ocean?? He's not THAT slow.

Good choice.

1) Women think he's extremely attractive.

and 2) he's not easy for guys to make fun of. He's not a pretty-boy.

Aquaman's image = instantly fixed.

Also, I'm beyond excited that we're actually going to get Aquaman in 2016. Seems to make sense with the story too. A lot of potential there with the Clark/Arthur parallels.

So, i guess they're going for the stiff, warrior type Aquaman, eh?
