When it comes to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and indeed Warner Bros.’ plans for its entire DC universe, one of the most regular commentators has been filmmaker Kevin Smith, and Smith has been at it again during the latest episode of the Hollywood Babble-On podcast – this time sharing his opinion on Jason Momoa’s (Game of Thrones) casting as Aquaman…
“I think most people of course when they think of f*cking Aquaman, they think of the traditional cartoon version, but the current version or incarnation is he’s a badass king of the seven seas, a warlord to some degree. So I could see where they would get away with casting this dude… Yeah I’ll buy it. Will they blonde his hair, you think? It’s awesome. Think about it dude, they used to make fun of Aquaman all the time. Aquaman – he only talks to f*cking fishes. F*cking say that to that dude’s face.”
Momoa will apparently make his debut as Aquaman in 2016’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice , before reuniting with Henry Cavill (Superman), Ben Affleck (Batman), Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman), Ray Fisher (Cyborg) and director Zack Snyder for Justice League, which is expected in 2017.
