'Game of Thrones' Star Jason Momoa Will Reportedly Join 'Batman v. Superman: Dawn Of Justice' As Aquaman

After weeks of speculation and denial, fans can breathe a sigh of relief, has been confirmed by both Hitfix and The Hollywood Reporter that Jason Momoa (Game of Thrones) will be playing Aquaman in DC's upcoming Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. After Momoa consistently denied his involvement with both the role and the film, fans still remained persistent that Momoa would eventually end up with the part. With his work on Game of Thrones showing how well his persona fits the role, as well as his physique fitting the realistic element that Zack Snyder is trying to implement within the new DC film universe, Momoa seemed to be the clear choice.

Being that the original Aquaman was a blonde (Hence why actors such as Matt Damon and Lost's Josh Holloway were rumored for the part), mid range body type, sported a orange scale costume and green gloves, it may be evident that a change in costume design will be evident later on. If fans are correct, Jason Momoa will portray a more barbaric looking Aquaman that fits the description of Aquaman a lot more. Aquaman is described as a individual who boast of his adventures and great war triumphs, as well as proving his rightful ranks amongst other league members.

Hitfix; the site that first broke the news of Momoa's casting, also brought up a few new rumored character details about how Aquaman will fit into the film. Apparently through the events of Man of Steel, The world engine mechanism that General Zod implemented within the ocean in order to reshape the Earth into Krypton landed in the Indian Ocean. This will then lead to conflict between Superman and Aquaman, due to the fact that a piece of his home was destroyed, or aquatic life was effected.

His role in Batman v. Superman is unclear, yet one thing is obvious to fans, and that is the film may be trying to clutter things. With Batman (Ben Affleck) already taking a clear presence alongside Superman in this film, along with future Justice League members Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), Cyborg (Ray Fisher), and now Aquaman, it's possible we could see even more JL heroes make an appearance somewhere in the film. Without having a objectified film aimed at showing the brawl between the two main DC power houses, then it is obvious that this film will become a simple Justice League set up.

So what do you think of Momoa being cast as Aquaman? Do you feel that the adaption that Zack Snyder is making is appropriate? Comment Below!
