UPDATE : Read everything revealed by theAquamanset visit reports .
Speaking on the set of film director James Wan’sAquaman , Jason Momoa explained how Zack Snyder lay the creation for the aquatic superhero in the DC Extended Universe , in advance of Wan ’s film . Snyder was responsible for casting theGame of Thronesveteran to toy Arthur Curry to begin with and even unveiled the first picture of Momoa in costume as the character , ahead of his brief debut on the large screen inBatman V Superman : Dawn of Justice . Momoa then returned to meet a far more substantial part in Snyder ’s third DCEU moving picture , Justice League .
NowThe ConjuringandFurious 7helmsman Wan is set his own whirl on the Atlantean warrior .

As Momoa told the pressure on theAquamanset ( h / tCollider ) , Snyder figured out the"bare bones"of the DCEU ’s Arthur Curry , including where he come from and"what he was about " . The actor emphasized that he essay to equilibrise that precis of the quality with what Wan had in mind with his solo film , which he said is"a very spectacular , unlike opinion of what , originally , when I was with Zack" . Justice Leaguetouches on a number of central element from Arthur ’s backstory during a conversation that he has with Mera ( Amber Heard ) in Atlantis , yet leaves room for Wan ’s movie to unwrap the"finer aspects of the character"and tie in the pane all together , to quote Momoa .
Momoa further revealed that he spend a fair amount of clock time on his own plotting out Aquaman ’s life just before and afterJustice League , for bridge the gap between that pic and Wan ’s DCEU installment :
That definitely was one of the difficult things was move like , ‘ Okay , here ’s Aquaman ’s lifespan and here ’s Justice League . ’ So , I made up a whole bunch of different scenarios of what it was like beforehand , then he get along and he joins the squad and then he goes back to his life . So , that was really of import to all the forward stuff , because afterwards that was up for James [ Wan ] to go , ‘ Hey , the futurity is yours . You ’ve already done Justice League . I take everything pre . ’ And , uh , work up all that clobber on your own is work up a character .
Snyder , however , was the one responsible for for the most easy - to - acknowledge difference between the comic book Aquaman and the DCEU reading - namely , he ’s part Polynesian , just like Momoa . This heritage is further reflected in the character ’s tattoo ( which are full of Polynesian symbols ) and the casting of his human father Thomas , who is brought to life by Temuera Morrison ( Attack of the Clones , Moana ) . According to Momoa , let to play another a non - snowy superhero ( a creative decision on Snyder ’s close ) was very much a big deal to him :
I think of , that was the biggest honor , like when Zack [ Snyder ] told me - there ’s just so many brown - skinned kids that are gon na mature up and go , like , ‘ Yeah , all of our immortal are water gods ’ . It is an rank honor . Some people accept that he ’s not white . I cerebrate it ’s coolheaded . It ’s an honour for me to be that someone standing up . Dream problem , you recognize what I mean ?
Indeed , as divisive as the Snyder - maneuver DCEU movies are , he ’s also responsible for many of the franchise ’s best received expression , like Momoa ’s Aquaman and Gal Gadot ’s Wonder Woman . Snyder similarly lay the base for the largerAquamanmythology in the DCEU , which Wan is now expanding upon in novel and ( hopefully ) captivating ways with his solo picture . In that gumption , Snyder ’s influence and creative role on the franchise will remain to dwell on in authoritative ways , even now that his own time playing in the DCEU sandbox has ( seemingly ) drawn to a finis .
