Aquaman actor Jason Momoa has spoken about the character’s frame of mind at the beginning of his solo movie.
Now that Justice League is out of the way, the future of the DCEU has become the focus, with much of it centring on characters like Jason Momoa’s Aquaman.
Aquman did feature in Justice League but the character also has his own solo movie on the way. In Justice League: The Art of the Film – an inside peek at how the DCEU movie was made – Momoa said the following (via Screen Rant) about what the character is going through at the start of the Aquaman movie:
“When we find Arthur, he’s hiding on the edges of society. He knows what his power is, but he doesn’t know how to channel it. He hasn’t accepted himself as king. He’s been running from both sides, human and Antlantean, and he’s been really that outlaw and renegade and the rebel.”
To see how the character handles this crisis of identity, stay tuned for more news on Aquaman’s solo movie.
Aquaman is directed by James Wan (The Conjuring) and stars Jason Momoa as the titular hero, reprising his role from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League, along with Amber Heard as Mera, Patrick Wilson as Ocean Master, Willem Dafoe as Dr. Vulko, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Black Manta, Dolph Lundgren as King Nereus, Nicole Kidman as Atlanna, Temuera Morrison as Tom Curry, Ludi Lin as Murk, Michael Beach as Jesse Kane, Otis Dhanji as a young Arthur Curry and Graham McTavish in an as-yet-unrevealed role. It is set for release on December 21st 2018.
