Back in October, Warner Bros. finally confirmed that former “Game of Thrones” star Jason Momoa would play Aquaman in their DC Cinematic Universe despite months of dodging the question. Momoa previously spoke about the casting where he indicated how little he knew of their overall plans for the character, but at the Comic-Con Experience in São Paulo, Brazil (via CBM) this weekend, he opened up about what he wants to see.

It’s long been reported that Momoa will make his big screen debut as Aquaman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which debuts in theaters on March 25, 2016. Momoa will return as the king of Atlantis for Justice League: Part One on November 10. 2017, a solo Aquaman film set for release on July 27, 2018, and presumably the final film in his contract is Justice League: Part Two, set for release June 14, 2019.
