Jason Momoa is Aquaman! - Part 5

But they left fish in there.

These pics (from Dirty Grandpa) are proof that the classic Aquaman could have been done:

I'm impressed with his muscular frame there. Aquaman could look exactly like that and have the suit and everything, and still be badass.
Not saying Efron should have played the hero. I just refer to the caucasian look with blond hair.
Charlie Hunnam and Paul Bettany also have blond hair (if you like them better than Efron)
It's all in the personality and what the hero does in the film. It was no need to alter the character to suit Momoa. They just had to give him a proper story and make him a non-joke guy. Again, based on personality, not looks

Here's from a comic book. As you see, it's the personality!!!

Could greek gods be considered caucasian?… I am just asking because I honestly don't know…

anyway… I like momoa's look over all the Aquaman looks. well except for the hook arm one.. It looks more badass and honestly the way Jason looks is pretty cool.. I think they are making the character more Hawaiian … which makes sense too..

lool AquaMomoa and Batfleck could both snap Hardy Bane's neck instantaneously….

From interview with Michael Wilkinson:

Did anyone beg to keep a memento from the costume department?

It was pretty hard to get Jason to get out of his Aquaman costume. It really became part of him.

I wonder if he tried to go for a swim in it...? t:

I agree.

I'm looking forward to seeing AquaMoa. I love the casting

Never been a fan of Aquaman....will not discuss my thought on the comic book character because it might piss people off. Let's just say my view of him mostly mathe with the Gen pop. First Aquaman that I saw and took seriously was in Justice League and JLU. Not only because he looked cool but because he cut his hand off man! HE CUT IT OFF!
When Jason was cast I was confused because I thought the character had to be blonde. Then that picture came out and I was like "oh snap". If you discount Green Lantern and SR (because of when they came out) but count Nolans Batman (it finished just a few years ago) then DC is 5 for 5 with producing great looks and costumes for their characters.

At the risk of going off track, I don't think the Superman Returns or Green Lantern costumes were particularly bad at all. Superman Returns updated the material of the suit to look more modern but didn't tamper with the look itself. The classic look is a bit hokey but we all always knew that. Of course, it has been successfully updated since but that look certainly wasn't bad for what it was going for.

The Green Lantern suit I didn't mind at all and I'm sure if the movie was any good no one else would have either.

I agree with your sentiment, design wise the GL suit was fine but I still thought it was a mistake to make GL's suit CGI. Not only was the CGI itself not very good but I just feel like it takes something away when an actor isn't really wearing their superhero garb. Call me a romantic but I didn't want to see Henry, Ben and Gal wearing grey and black leotards with markers.

I know someone will bring up Iron Man and Zod but I think those are special cases. A real Iron Man suit would be impossible to move in and armor in general is cumbersome so I understand CGI being used sometimes. I get the idea behind using CGI for GL but I still think that it was the wrong decision. I remember being horribly disappointed that we were never going to see Reynolds in costume for real.

So anyway that is my monthly rant about how much I hated GL's costume not being practical. Back to Aquaman.

Hated the SR suit but loved the GL suit.

With Aquamoa's presence... Bane will run away like a little girl
The pic is from few days ago BTW

In an interview with Esquire, Momoa revealed that he had already begun bulking up and training for demanding stunts for his first DC appearance on 'Justice League' for several months. He reiterated the need for discipline and strict routine as well as keeping a healthy balance between the mind and body. He also stressed that the key to working out is to have fun and go outdoors.

An article from Bleach Report also revealed that Momoa's personal trainer happens to be WWE 'Tough Enough' competitor Mada Abdelhamid. The Egyptian worked with Momoa on his upcoming film 'The Bad Batch' with Jim Carrey and Keanu Reeves. Abdelhamid said, "I will also be on set for his Aquaman andJustice League movies. He likes to work out with me because we push each other."

'Aquaman' is standalone film in DC's shared universe currently under development with Warner Bro.'s to be directed by 'Furious 7' filmmaker James Wan. The first film in the trilogy is scheduled to be released on July 27, 2018

If he's still bulking up, he's gonna end up bigger than the Rock!

 

[John-An]

WWE trainer? WWE fighting style for Aquamoa?

Where do I sign?

 

[Peyton Westlake]

Sounds like intimidation will be a huge factor in Aquaman's appearance.
Bravo.

Oh no!!! #Aquaman doesn't eat fish! #NotmuhAquaman #Seamurderer #KingofMurder #BringBacktherightstoMarvel

Wow that man is a specimen.

 

[Lobo]

That's a nice fish. And now to be all fanboyish. Arthur ate fish during time and tide tpb.

Imagine Aquamoa controlling the Kraken!!!!

Jason Momoa who’s playing Aquaman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, spoke in an interview with Martha Boyd for The Robots Voice, during the Joshua Tree International Film Fest this past weekend on Saturday.

Have you been scanned for Aquaman toys?

JM: Yes I have – there will be collectibles.

I’m used to seeing Aquaman in the cute orange shirt and green tights. So far we have seen you in armor – not that that is bad. But will we see some orange and green?

JM: Well, there might be some bit of orange and green. A bit of respect to prior work, but I think he is meaner now and upset – look at what has been done to our oceans. That’s his world that has been polluted.

I understand you will be in 2 films prior to Aquaman: Batman v Superman and Justice League. Any comments?

JM: Well, we will see. I really can’t say much on that right now.

 

[I Am The Knight]

"Have you been scanned for Aquaman toys?"

That's one hell of a question.

From interview with Michael Wilkinson:

I know this reply is way late. But I don't doubt at all that he didn't want to take off his costume. I would love to see footage of an impatient Wilkinson telling an enthusiastic Momoa to get out of the Aquaman costume. Haha.

JM: Well, there might be some bit of orange and green. A bit of respect to prior work, but I think he is meaner now and upset – look at what has been done to our oceans. That’s his world that has been polluted.

I like his answer here.

 

[Brian Braddock]

Yeah.

As far as I know, it was only a fan-theory but is this now a confirmation that it's the World Engine in MOS that brings Aquaman into the fold? I mean, if Mamoa is just talking about pollution of the ocean in general then why would Aquaman only introduce himself now and not before? The damage to the ocean by the WE has to be the cause.

 

[Mrs. Wayne]

The WE incident will probably be the last straw for him maybe.

 

[Marz69]

maybe topo is the kraken

Yeah.

Yeah, I could see Aquaman not happy with what went down. No happy at all t:

A fight with superman perhaps...
