Fans are asking if the rumors about Jason Momoa portraying the role of Aquaman in the new "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" are true. Although Warner Bros. still have not released an official statement on this subject, HitFix has decided to pacify the fans. HitFix "can confirm that he will be playing the part, and that Zack Snyder has already finalized his designs for the character so shooting can take place soon."
It certainly looks like Momoa, Kahl Drogo of "Game of Thrones", will be putting on Arthur Curry's green and orange.
These rumors started last year, but Momoa was good at avoiding the question. If he did not downplay it, he outright denies it. Roth Cornet of IGN got to interview him in January and he said, "It's just rumors. I want to say something amazing, but I can't comment on rumors. It's flattering." To make his point clear as crystal, he further added, "I'm not involved in it."
Perhaps at the time of his interview with IGN he was still in the negotiation stage of the role. At this point, he will be sworn to secrecy. Drew McWeeney of HitFix, on the other hand, says that his involvement in the upcoming film is a done deal. Additionally, McWeeney also stated that Momoa's role as Aquaman in this film will be his gateway for bigger involvement in the Justice League movie.
Apart from Momoa playing Aquaman, McWeeney further provides other hints regarding the movie. He noted that Aquaman's plot will piggyback off a debated mass destruction which happened previously in "Man of Steel." He said, "Someone else who's not particularly happy about what happened in that film is Aquaman. I'm not sure if that's the actual name they'll use or not, but what we're hearing is that he is not pleased about the World Engine and what it did to the Indian Ocean. He will not have a major role in the film, but he will make an appearance, and it definitely sets him up to return once Snyder gets to "Justice League."
