BvS Jason Momoa is Aquaman! - Part 3

[TheNextNolan22]

This is a much worse kept secret than Wonder Woman being in this movie was haha.

 

[NoLaNitE007]

Nice!

Can't wait to see the designs of the suit he will wear. I think he will look like a badass warrior king and I hope they have him keep the beard or goatee look with mid long hair look for Aquaman. Just have to highlight and lighten Momoa's hair a bit into a dirt blonde look.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Seriously, even CN****ingN is citing Variety and "confirming" Aquamomoa.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Honestly I don't use "if" when talking about Momoa as Aquaman for a reason. It's obvious he is playing the role but WB doesn't want to confirm it for some reason.

 

[jaymes_e06]

I think if he indeed isn't playing the role it is the most unethical journalism ever if he is playing the role and WB doesn't want anyone to know it's the worst kept secret in Hollywood.

this kind of thing i pretty ridiculous , if the rumour is false the trades will lost all their credibilities and worse the other midias with confirm that either, but i am tired of this Aquaman - momoa rumour , this carachter is my favorite and there s no respect with him.

How is Momoa not showing respect to Aquaman? He can't talk about it. Period.

 

[jaymes_e06]

He did say he was offended to be in the same sentence with AM in more less words. I think he's just red hairing us but it is kind of disrespectful especially if you are actually playing the character!

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I think people read way to much into celebrities evasive words.

I'm trying to reckon the point behind WB waiting to formally announce Momoa in the role.

At first it seemed that they were waiting for SD Comic Con 2014, but that came and went with no formal mention of Aquaman plans whatsoever.

This week news came of the duelling Aquaman scripts, but still no mention re. the casting.

We've even seen photographic evidence that Momoa is physically training in the same facilities as Gadot, and yet nothing.

The primary theory I keep falling back on is that beyond WB wanting to have ultimate control over the DC universe announcements (an understandable thing), Mamoa really has not been cast as Aquaman, but as some other character, and WB aren't sure how to manage the fan disapointment and mend the relationships with the trades who have been reporting the casting as all but fact for over a month.

I really hope Momoa is indeed our new Aquaman as I think he would be incredible in the role (anyone who doubts his charisma/presence on screen needs to obtain a copy of the television series 'The Red Road' where his work is stellar). He exudes charm and menace simultaneously in The Red Road and if he combines that more grounded character with that of Drogo from GOT he could portray an Atlantean King with ease).

I dont remember him saying anything like that you have a link?

lol if he isn't Aquaman I highly doubt WB is worried about apologizing to the trades because they reported false information

WB is the biggest studio around, and the trades will have to deal with them regardless, but I'm sure the marketing department would like to maintain cordial relationships, most especially Variety and the Hollywood Reporter whom everyone else is citing as a source. It's fine if Cosmic Book News messes up, everyone expects it, but Variety has a reputation at stake and wouldn't appreciate being made fools of either.

Variety sited HitFix which said WB hasn't made the announcement official but that he could confirm. THR said WB refused to to comment.

Which means none of them talked to WB and WB said ya its true, so if it's wrong the sites aren't going to be pissy at WB. They have no one to blame but themselves.

 

[GreenKToo]

i know that, but i hate when studios and actors doing things like that, if its not true tell and end of history, if is true tell is true and tell you canot talk about this and it take a hype for the next step.

I know..it always rains on the mountains in the month of doughnuts.

Well said and point taken, but WB will still have to manage the problem of all of the positive publicity casting Momoa in the role being for naught if he's playing another character.

Regardless, I'm still 90% certain he is the new Aquaman, but I don't find WB's lack of confirmation as a means of building suspense and anticiptation so much as it is a missed opportunity and a point of frustration for fans.

right exactly this, if he is not he can only say is a great carachter but its all rumours if he is dont, talking nothing ,but jokes about a carachter he could play is not respectable.

 

[Wayne Bruce]

I still think he's going to be Doomsday. And if he is, it would make sense given the recent plot rumors.

 

[Pickleweasel]

I've still yet to find Momoa saying that he was offended to be in the same sentence with Aquaman or even suggest it. Anyone have a link?

 

[Mrs. Wayne]

And on top of that, if he did, I'm sure it was a joke.

 

[Mrs. Wayne]

And I can't get over this interview!!

I don't see why they would waste him on a character like Doomsday, who I would assume has no dialogue, when they could just use a wrestler or bodybuilder for the role which I assume would be much cheaper. Who knows though.

 

[John-An]

He's Aquaman... enough said.

 

[StarLord]

He's AquaMomoa... enough said.

Fixed. t:

He did just not those exact words. He said how annoying it was for him to be connected to this superhero particularly.

And on top of that, if he did, I'm sure it was a joke.

I know it most likely is a "wink wink" "nudge nudge" but in the mean time he is perpetuating the image that AM is "lame."
