Jason Momoa has been cast as Aquaman in the Zack Snyder‘s Man of Steel sequel/Justice League prequel Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice. Hitfix has confirmed the long rumored casting, and claims Snyder has “already finalized his designs for the character so shooting can take place soon.”

Had no idea that Aquaman was going to be in this movie.

 

[Trouble]

Had no idea that Aquaman was going to be in this movie.

I think it would be easier to list who isn't in the movie at this point.

 

[lovely ladies]

Wasn't this already announced? Or is this the "formal" announcement? Good for him, I think he'll be fine in the role.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Devin from badass digest called this shit 6 months ago.

I think it was rumored and this is the formal announcement

Green Arrow?

Seriously.

This movie is way too bloated.

And not just with sensible choices.

 

[Delta Assault]

Sure. Why not.

SMH

 

[beyond_death]

If this is official then I am very interested to see where they take the character.

 

[ScribbleD]

This is going to be such a bloated clusterfuck. I can't wait.

 

[Dysun]

Awesome pick, he is great

 

[The Silver]

Come on, make him Flashpoint Aquaman

or Brave and the Bold Aquaman, I will accept nothing less then one of those two versions.

 

[- J - D -]

Okay. Aquaman is lame as shit though.

And now someone's gonna post that pic of Aquaman summoning a shark.

 

[TacticalFox88]

Supposed to be the Man of Steel sequel....
lol

 

[PaperFlame]

I bet all these superheroes are probably going to be in it for only 5 minutes at the end of the film, so they can introduce the justice league for the next film.

 

[massoluk]

Sure.... why the fuck not. I can't wait for Plastic Man, Firestorm, and Blue Beetle casting announcement for this film.

 

[BlackGoku03]

That's cool. He has the look.

 

[Amir0x]

I think it would be easier to list who isn't in the movie at this point.

exactly. this is going to be the messiest movie ever. no lead in with character building movies, just comic book splooge attempting to hook any nerd around. At least that's what it seems like in everything I've read and in their own stated approach to the movie.

 

[Timbuktu]

Good to know that Conan hasn't completely destroyed his career.

 

[SargerusBR]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


seriously? Momoa as Aquaman makes 0 sense

 

[Abounder]

Will Wonder Woman be the next khaleesi?

Actually getting hyped. All Snyder needs to do is adapt a DC cartoon into a film and it'd be the best super franchise on the big screen

 

[block tower]

this movie will be a train wreck that's for sure.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Eh... I would've gone with Josh Holloway. Though he would maybe make a better Metallo. I dunno.

Momoa's fine, but not my top pick for Aquaman.

 

[Citizen_Insane]

This is gonna be a glorious train wreck.

 

[Blablurn]

I wonder if they can really pull it off

 

[block tower]

Come on, make him Flashpoint Aquaman

or Brave and the Bold Aquaman, I will accept nothing less then one of those two versions.

they'd need Brock Lesner then, that Aquaman was modeled directly after him.

 

[bigboss370]

Alright, I see where this is going now.

The main plot is gonna revolve around Superman and Batman, and the rest of justice league members will just be teased. Wonder Woman more so than the others. This will all culmnate into the justice league movie that comes after.

 

[Parallax]

I said this before, but this could work

 

[Shaanyboi]

Well there was that rumor that Batman would be recruiting a bunch of superheroes to take down Superman... I'm believing it more and more.

 

[voodoopanda]

Wonder Woman and Aquaman, I like it. They should rename the movie to Super Friends. The world's four greatest heroes.

 

[Salsa]

time to straight up call it Justice League I mean shit

this movie's pace is gonna be all over the place if it still intends to focus on just Batman and Superman

good casting tho

 

[UltraGunner]

At this point just fucking call it Justice League.

 

[Nokterian]

Why not call it Justice League instead? I mean this is getting ridicilous. They will all get a short cameo towards the justice movie but this doesn't make any sense and to be honest it becomes more confusing everytime they announce something.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Good to know that Conan hasn't completely destroyed his career.

He's actually got a show on Sundance.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

It's going to be so messy. lol

 

[block tower]

At this point just fucking call it Justice League.

because DC only wants to make one train wreck at a time. they'll save the Justice League movie for last to ruin.

 

[Dryk]

I love Momoa but Aquaman? Really? The blonde-haired pretty-boy?

 

[overcast]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


seriously? Momoa as Aquaman makes 0 sense

What? I can definitely see it. Makes sense.

I don't believe this movie will be good, but I think these actors all look the part (Gadot will eventually).

He doesn't have to have blonde hair.....

 

[FeD.nL]

Tbh I think they will just he teased in the movie. Justice League will be formed at the end and that's it probably.

 

[HoodWinked]

I love Momoa but Aquaman? Really? The blonde-haired pretty-boy?

ya i sorta thought that too at first then realized he used to be this at one point.

 

[Barack Lesnar]

Okay. Aquaman is lame as shit though.

How so? He was a badass in this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justice_League:_The_Flashpoint_Paradox

Justice League The Flashpoint Paradox animated movie. He had way more powers than I imagined based on all the ridicule I've heard of his character over the years. He commanded a huge, advanced army with all kinds of cool water tech. He was also super strong physically.

 

[SolidChamp]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


seriously? Momoa as Aquaman makes 0 sense

Yeah. Movie is gonna suck hard.

I'm kind of rooting for it to fail, at this point. This reeks of that studio executive interference:

"If we have Aquaman in it, even if it doesn't make sense from a story standpoint, we can sell Aquaman toys. We even sell Aquaman's pet shark separately. Also, money. Money because money money money, and money. Hey Zack Snyder, change this because money."

Zack Snyder: "Yes sir. Money."

 

[EulaCapra]

Yay! Hopefully this lessens the poking and making fun of Aquaman in pop culture. Momoa has that death stare that's intimidating... yet turns you on at the same time. RRRAAARRR

 

[SargerusBR]

Yeah. Movie is gonna suck hard.

Exactly. The suits at Warner have no idea how this movie is going to be about. Is all about that merchandising money.

 

[diamount]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Makes more sense than Conan.

 

[SargerusBR]

Makes more sense than Conan.

Sorry, not seeing it. If WB were smart they would have casted someone like Liam McIntyre

 

[shira]

My Sun and Stars.

Need mo' Momoa.

 

[CountAntonius]

That's an odd choice.

 

[Brakke]

Good for him.
