Momoa as Aquaman

Momoa as Aquaman in Batman vs Superman (2016)

Unfamiliar faces in pop culture are like crops that haven't burned yet. Our understanding of Aquaman will change once again in the upcoming Batman vs Superman film which is expected to be released in 2016.

Momoa isn't a Hollywood poster star like Ben Affleck however, it could be a breakout role for him in mainstream films. He began his career as an actor for television series; Khal Drogo, his most notable role in hit HBO series Game of Thrones. Fans believed he was exceptional as the violent and brooding character from George RR Martin's book series. Given the evidence of the actor's work, its possible the writers are aiming for an Aquaman that relies on brute strength; a hero that can take out an entire army with his bare fists. That similar type of Aquaman DC illustrated in the mid 90's carried a trident and had a hook for a left hand. The biggest difference with Snyder's Aquaman is that he won't have the blonde hair, which, was one of the hero's most prominent, physical features.

No one would expect Eisenberg to play the villainous Lex Luthor before watching him in The Double (2013) which, has just recently gained him credibility for the role. Momoa on the other hand, was an excellent choice upon hearing the news. Theirs  certainly been many surprises with the casting, and theirs no mistake that DC is going all out in trying to do a better job than Marvel studios in feature-length filmmaking. Meanwhile, The TV series "Gotham" and "The Flash" are soon to air on television
