    Jason Momoa cast as Aquaman

    I don't see it...

    I was hoping he'd land the role of Lobo...I just can't picture him as Aquaman.

    Now, as Sub-Mariner...then that would be a different story...I think Momoa would be a perfect Prince Namor.

          I don't see it either. It kind of reads like stunt-casting: cast a muscled tough guy as the hero who is perceived as "lame".

          Having said all that, he may surprise the hell out of us. It's already done, so might as well sit back and see if it works out.

            Very mixed feelings about this. I like Momoa's look, but not as Arthur. Aquaman has always been Nordic-looking, & in fact his blond hair is central to his origin.

            Still, I think I'd rather see this than the Rock as Shazam...

              Frankly, I was rooting for Charlie Hannum.

                I don't know. he has the right blend of fierceness and exotic looks. I think he will be good as Aquaman. I just hope they don't try and make him comic relief of something stupid like that

                  They may go with the shirtless, long hair and beard look. I don't see it either.

                  He would make a good Lobo.

                  It's going to be interesting if all the recent rumors pan out.

                    And... yuck. If any screen hero can benefit from cutting-edge swimwear technology & Hollywood's penchant for streamlined, sculpted hero-suits, it's Aquaman.

                      Hannum, yes...perfect Aquaman.

                      But I disagree about you not liking the Rock as Shazam...I'd love to see that...or at least him as Black Adam...but don't mind him in either role.

                          Momoa may not fit the bill as Aquaman...but I guess you never know...perhaps with the right make up...one thing for sure though...whether he looks like Aquaman or not...he will make one mean-looking Aquaman...that's for sure, lol.

                            That's a questionable casting decision, at best.

                            But I do like how they allegedly plan to incorporate Aquaman into the movie... that he's pretty angry at Superman because of the effects which the World Engine in MOS had on the planet's oceans... and he's got a problem with Supes for attracting it to Earth.

                              ^ I like that, too--Aquaman should always be an eco-hero IMO.

                              Hec, re: The Rock, you do realize that advocating him for both Cap & Adam (diametrically-opposed characters) is not much of an endorsement? I can see him as Adam I guess.
