It’s been awhile since Jason Momoa was announced as appearing as Aquaman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and now director Zack Snyder has finally revealed what the King of the Seven Seas is going to look like in the DC cinematic universe. The director unveiled the first picture of Momoa as the Atlantean king on Twitter. So without further ado, here’s our first look at the first film version of Arthur Curry.

Clearly Snyder was inspired more by the 1990’s Peter David Aquaman look, the period in which he didn’t have his signature orange shirt, but instead wore a form of armored shoulder pads that showed off his rippling chest (if you’re going to get someone to play Aquaman with the body of Jason Momoa, you don’t really wanna cover that up.) Also, the long hair and the beard is Aquaman’s signature ’90s look. Of course, the biggest difference here is that Momoa is clearly not blonde, but he appears to have blonde streaks in his hair as a nod to his comic book origins.
After making his big screen debut in Batman v. Superman, Aquaman is going to be in Justice League Part One (Nov. 17, 2017) before starring in his own solo flick, appropriately enough called Aquaman on July 27, 2018, and then regrouping with his Super Friends in Justice League Part Two, set for June 14th, 2019.

He was amazing on Game of Thrones but I don’t think he’s the right pick for this one. He looks nothing like Aquaman.
I agree completely. Love the actor, not for this role though. =(
“There is only one true King.”
And his name is Aragorn.
That Trident though! SOOO Sweet looking!
That’s not a trident, it’s a pendadent.
OUTRAGEOUS!!! We shall call this Tale “From Khaleesi to King of the Sea”
OUTRAGEOUS!!!!
Yes! Bad Ass! So Far I’ve really enjoyed the art design from all the pics.
The header pic isn’t Aquaman. That’s Sea King, part of the injustice society from Earth-3
Actually, you’re incorrect as well. That would be Sea King of Earth-3’s Crime Syndicate, not Injustice Society (which isn’t a thing. There’s the Injustice League, and the Secret Societ Of Super-Villains, which also both appeared during that storyline.)
Looks badass
Khal Drogo, is that you?
His real name is actually Ronon Dex and comes from P3R-534. He was recruited by the United States Air Force for a SG team during the Atlantis occupation in the Pegasus Galaxy . He jumped to the wrong gate and ended up in the Atlantis of the DC Movie Universe. They call him Aqua Man on that earth and is currently ruling as the one True King. 🙂
Well done sir
