Jason Momoa’s time as Aquaman may be coming close, but the actor stays true to DC no matter what.
In a new interview with The Independent, the producer behind Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom & the man in charge of DC’s new story, Peter Safran, promises we’ll see more of the actor going forward.
Safran begins by praising Momoa’s time as Aquaman, “If it’s the end of the journey, fine. If it goes on, that’s also fine. When I think of Jason in this role, he is the definitive Aquaman. He’s redefined it. It’s been an 11 or 12-year journey for him – a lot of the audience doesn’t realize that he was cast so long ago. It’s kind of redefined him. When he took this role, he was known as Khal Drogo, and now he’s really Aquaman.”
“What I hope is that people will really be here to support him on this journey,” Safran continues. “If it’s the end of the journey, fine. If it goes on, that’s also fine, but I think it has meant so much to him.”
The DC co-chair says that Momoa has made Warner Bros. Discovery and DC his home, with him rumored for a new DC role and set for the Minecraft movie.
Safran says, “The way [director] James [Wan] crafted this second film, it feels like a very complete story when you watch the two films together. We’ll see what happens with him beyond it. I know that Jason will always have a home at DC and at Warner Bros. In fact, his next movie is Minecraft.”

Jason Momoa is currently rumored to be in talks for the role of Lobo, with hints at this coming for a while now. Only time will tell, but Momoa’s final stop and the last DCEU movie is now in cinemas with today’s release of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.
Having failed to defeat Aquaman the first time, Black Manta, still driven by the need to avenge his father’s death, will stop at nothing to take Aquaman down once and for all. This time, Black Manta is more formidable than ever before, wielding the power of the mythic Black Trident, which unleashes an ancient and malevolent force. To defeat him, Aquaman will turn to his imprisoned brother Orm, the former King of Atlantis, to forge an unlikely alliance. Together, they must set aside their differences in order to protect their kingdom and save Aquaman’s family and the world from irreversible destruction.
All returning to the roles they originated, Jason Momoa plays Arthur Curry/Aquaman, now balancing his duties as both the King of Atlantis and a new father; Patrick Wilson is Orm, Aquaman’s half-brother and his nemesis, who must now step into a new role as his brother’s reluctant ally; Amber Heard is Mera, Atlantis’ Queen and mother of the heir to the throne; Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is Black Manta, committed more than ever to avenge his father’s death by destroying Aquaman, his family and Atlantis; and Nicole Kidman as Atlanna, a fierce leader and mother with the heart of a warrior. Also reprising their roles are Dolph Lundgren as King Nereus and Randall Park as Dr. Stephen Shin.
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is now in cinemas.
