Justice Leaguestar Jason Momoa is assuring lover that while his version of Arthur Curry in the DC squad up film might seem too gruff , he ’s going to be much more fleshed out in next year’sAquamansolo film . TheGame of Thronesveteran cameoed as the Atlantean hero in last year’sBatman V Superman , and we ’ll be get our first proper origination to the submarine inJustice League , where he ’s recruited byBatman ( Ben Affleck)and Wonder Woman ( Gal Gadot ) to aid thwart the evil warlord Steppenwolf , who ’s make out to conquer Earth in the backwash ofSuperman ’s ( Henry Cavill)death .
While fellow raw additions like The Flash ( Ezra Miller ) and Cyborg ( Ray Fisher ) have enjoyed some mainstream realisation through high visibility television projects , Aquaman is for the most part remembered from the cheesy 70 ’s and 80 ’s cartoonSuper Friends . One of the DC cinematic universe ’s bigger tasks was always go to be overhauling Aquaman for a 21st century film audience .

Momoa ’s cast was an early sign that this would be a decidedly nervy version of Aquaman , owing more to the dark 90s comic strip translation than the orange shirtedSuper Friendsiteration . Momoa creditsJustice Leaguedirector Zack Snyder with convert him to take on the character , and accent thatJustice Leagueis just a modest window into the character ’s deep world .
It all kind of came from Zack ’s mind . Aquaman would n’t be here if it was n’t for him . When I step into his elbow room he order me his sight for me playing this lineament . The one thing I was really concerned with when I did my homework , I knew this would basically be , it ’s a weekend in his life , and I just wanted to make certain the fans sleep with that this gruff grapheme , this humankind that live within the tides and not really accepted in two blank space , we needed to know where he come from and why he ’s this grumpy form of routine of an asshole to Batman .
Momoa explains how Aquaman ’s blunt personality is setting up the events of his solo film , which will explain the personal run he ’s endured over the year .
I want masses to know that , in a year , they ’re extend to see where he came from . What happened to his mother , what happened to his father , and how he was treat in this existence and how he did n’t know how to use his power and sometimes he saved people and sometimes he lost people and his human side did n’t know how to contend with those things , he ’d cover up those thing , and so he ’s hiding behind a lot of , there ’s a fate of level to this guy rope and I think once we do get to the solo motion-picture show you get to see a man who ’s move to take responsibility and help the world and become baron eventually , so this one , I do n’t really think that he ’s , he is Aquaman - he ’s Arthur Curry - but he has n’t deal with the trident yet and it ’s coming , but just stick with it . For the people like " that ’s not how Aquaman is , " just bind with it a picayune bit longer .
In a movie packed with so many other zep , it ’s perceivable that Aquaman ’s humanity might not be fully explored inJustice League , but it ’s good to know the case ’s backstory is at least being acknowledge and the stage is being set for his solo film . The James Wan directedAquamansolo film is currently the only DC moving-picture show slat for release in 2018 , so DC for sure seems sure-footed that this novel version of Arthur Curry is compelling enough to carry their cinematic blade forward on his own , much like the triumphantWonder Womandid earlier this year . After the critically shaky start to their shared universe withMan of Steel , Batman V SupermanandSuicide Squad , Aquaman’ssolo success would be the surest augury yet that DC ’s films are back on track .
