Will Jason Momoa Return Again as Aquaman?
There is no doubt that Jason Momoa has a future in the DCU moving forward, however whether that will consist of another look as Aquaman is on unstable ground. Not that Momoa appears to mind in that regard, as the function he will be playing quickly has actually plainly made the star delighted to see James Gunn and Peter Safran taking the helm of the comics franchise. While discussing Momoa’s future, Safran hinted that the star would not appear in a double function. He stated:
“Jason constantly believed Aquaman was a trilogy in his own mind, however he likewise enjoysLobo He’s been really clear about that, too. He’s never ever gon na play 2 characters, however no choice has actually been made.”
Many choices are still being made about the future of some enduring DCU characters, such as Momoa’s Aquaman, Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman, and Ezra Miller’sThe Flash This year will see The Flash function as a reset to the DC Universe, and despite the fact that Gunn and Safran have actually shared their very first run of jobs for the brand-new DCU, how all of it exercises is something that will not be understood for a couple of years yet. In the meantime, 2023 still has lots of DC motion pictures for those still bought the “old” routine, beginning with Shazam! Fury of the Gods in simply under a month’s time.
