Momoa reveals we can expect to see a tale that spans details Curry’s difficult childhood as a half-human, half-Atlantean to eventually becoming king.
“Justice League was only a weekend in Arthur Curry’s life,” Momoa says. “This is a totally different beast. In Aquaman, you see when his parents met and what happened to hem. Then the little boy being raised and finding his powers and going through that and never being accepted on either side. And then becoming this man who puts up all these walls. You just slowly see this man harden up and be completely reluctant wanting to be king and not knowing what to do with these powers he has. I think James Wan just killed it.”
When Wan first met with Warner Bros. to discuss taking on a superhero film, they famously gave him two options: One was a very popular character (The Flash) and the other was considered so impossible to pull off that the prospect of a movie had been a running joke on Entourage. Naturally, the veteran horror director picked the project that would terrify anybody else.
“Aquaman has been the joke of the comic book world, but the more I thought about it, the more I thought how cool that would be,” Wan explains. “Let’s take the character everybody makes fun of and do something really interesting with him.”
First Official Photo of Jason Moama from "Aquaman" released
If you'd not say anything I'd honestly think this was a photo of Khal Drogo
Though I think Aquaman will be one of the more unique comic book movies to be made but if it will be good who knows
Well isn't DCEU going to reboot?I thought they started to make Flashpoint movie?
I expect Flashpoint to only have smaller effects after its done
like if Afleck wants to quit, that would be the time to change actors
I dig it.
Can't wait for Aquaman. James Wan seems like he has a genuine vision of what he wants to do with this movie beyond it just being another part of the DCEU.
if there's one thing i've learned it's that no matter what you do, people still won't stop seeing him as a joke. there's some things that they will just never be able to get it through their thick skulls.

Laughing at Aquaman is a part of american culture now, lol. I like what they did in New 52 by making everyone else, including other heroes, laugh at Aquaman too. You can clearly see that Aquaman's reputation bothers him too, but he tries to pretend that it doesn't. So it makes him into a underdog hero, instead of some muscle-bound try-hard. To be fair its not the first time they played the character from that angle, as even PADs run had some hints of that.
@giliad_: Whose couch did he sit on to get sexiest man of the year twice, lul
Heard that in this movie he'll be a lot less comedic and more serious.
Which I hope is true. Watched JL with my mother, she said that he looked so badass and sexy but the jokes and uncouthness ruined the character, which I agree with to some extent.
How many jokes can we expect in the film relating his ability to “speak” with fishes.
I want him to have some tragic backstory of him talking to dolphins when they were killed by whalers and that's what made him go Khal Drogo
His orange shirt was too cheesy, so instead he just has mysterious tattoos of the same pattern as a nod? Why does Arthur have tattoos? Especially so many.
In Justice League they made it seem like that was the first time he put the suit on. He told Mera he'd need some gear to fight Steppenwolf, then later showed up with his armor and trident.
Since this is a prequel we may just see him in his civilian attire. Which for this Aquaman is shirtless. Personally I am hoping he'll be given the suit near the end of the film so he can fight Black Manta or Ocean Master or whoever the main villain is going to be.
Since Wonder Woman's solo debut had been successful, I'm confident that Aquaman will be a good movie.
Let's hope that Aquaman has the same running time as Wonder Woman or Man of Steel. Two hours or less is not enough.
I literally feel nothing toward this photo.
Its hard to get hyped for a DC film. That could be the reason why.

Welcome to the 2010's where you can't be a badass without tattoos.

Indeed. And it's literally the most boring photo they could've posted.
It would have been nice to see an underwater shot at the very least.
That would've been miles better. This pic is pretty much oil rig in MoS but with Aquaman instead.
Looks like a WWE wrestler, give him his armor/suit.
Anyway, Jason Momoa is ripped af.
Shhh. He's secretly Roman Reigns...
@amazing_webhead: who laughs at him?
@kgb725: everyone. have you seriously not heard all the constant "Aquaman is useless" jokes?
@amazing_webhead: Where exactly ? They didn't exactly make fun of him for his role in JL
@kgb725: pretty much every time any other aspect of pop culture has mentioned him
