Jason Momoa Promises Aquaman Will Be No Joke After Batman v Superman
Aquaman is famously a bit of a joke in the comic book world. His key ability is to telepathically talk to and control sea life, so, it’s not hard to see why he’s something of an easy target.
Jason Momoa, who will be the first man to portray the character on the big screen, has suggested people wait to see him in action before cracking any more jokes about the The King of the Seven Seas.

At Fan Expo Canada Momoa said: “It’s cute and funny. People make fun of him. There’s a bunch of jokes about him, but I’m like, ‘Just wait. Let’s just wait a little bit, and then you can make jokes.‘”
Momoa will portray the character for the first time in next year’s 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’ in a small role scarcely bigger than a cameo. He will then feature in 'Justice League: Part One’ before a solo movie in 2018.
Momoa was officially revealed to be portraying character in October 2014 before 'Dawn of Justice’ director Zack Snyder revealed the image above in February 2015.
Later that month Momoa told Entertainment Weekly: “The whole mythology of Aquaman is pretty amazing. There’s so many things to tell, and there’s a whole backstory that’s just amazing.
“There’s a lot of surprises coming. I think, yeah, he’s been cast aside [in the past]. But times are going to change now, buddy. We don’t want to just reinvent it, but [Snyder has] got a whole idea of what Aquaman should be and I’m really honoured to be playing it. I’m excited for the world to see it.”
Momoa will appear in 'Batman v Superman’ alongside Henry Cavill as Superman, Ben Affleck as Batman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman and Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor. Quite who he’ll share the screen with is not yet know.
'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’ will be released on 25 March 2016.
