Jason Momoa will play Aquaman in 'Dawn Of Justice,' and we know how it will happen

Somewhere, Vincent Chase is cursing his agent over this turn of events

So remember a few weeks ago when Jason Momoa made headlines because he said he was tired of being asked if he was going to play Aquaman in "Batman Vs Superman: Dawn Of Justice"?

Well, he's totally playing Aquaman in "Batman Vs Superman: Dawn Of Justice."

While Warner Bros. hasn't made that announcement officially yet, HitFix can confirm that he will be playing the part, and that Zack Snyder has already finalized his designs forthe character so shooting can take place soon.

One of the things that has driven me crazy since the release of "Man Of Steel" is when people say that the last act of the film is a problem since there's no consequences for Superman after all of the destruction that results from his battle with Zod. I felt like it was pretty clear walking out of the theater that the next film would have to be all about consequences. I suspected that Lex Luthor would use the destruction as a way of making Superman look like a monster, and it sounds like that is indeed one of the major ideas that they're playing with in "Dawn Of Justice."

Someone else who's not particularly happy about what happened in that film is Aquaman. I'm not sure if that's the actual name they'll use or not, but what we're hearing is that he is not pleased about the World Engine and what it did to the Indian Ocean. He will not have a major role in the film, but he will make an appearance, and it definitely sets him up to return once Snyder gets to "Justice League."

So don't keep asking Momoa about the rumor. It's driving him crazy, and he's got to be sworn to secrecy. But rest assured that when "Dawn Of Justice" arrives in theaters in 2016, we're going to see the king of Atlantis onscreen, and Vinnie Chase will have nothing to do with it at all.

"Batman Vs Superman: Dawn Of Justice" arrives in theaters May 6, 2016.

He was pretty badass in GoT.

The best thing recently to come out of DC comics has been Arrow.

Also:

Last week brought the rumor that Warner Bros.' upcoming DC slate will see the release of not only Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League, but also Shazam!, Sandman, Wonder Woman, and a Flash/Green Lantern team up movie all between 2016 and 2018. We discuss this rumored line-up on our latest episode of Most Craved. You can now add one more title to that list as Latino-Review reports that WB is eyeing 2019 for a solo Batman film starring Ben Affleck, of which the working title is said to be "The Batman."

This release window makes sense for the project given that, as the site points out, Affleck will write, direct, and star in his next directorial effort Live By Night in the summer of 2015. That film will debut October 7, 2016 and frees up a lot of time for the studio to develop the script and get production going. There is also the possibility that Affleck could direct the project, but don't expect any reveals or confirmation for some time.

I hope this whole thing blows up in WB's face.

[stip]

If this fails it'll really make whoever the guy is in charge of Marvel's film division look like a genius

[epilogue]

I'm with you. But I just don't see how it can, really. No matter how terrible these movies are, they're still going to make money. Even if they make less than what Yako, Wako and Dot are hoping they'll make, much like Man of Steel, they will still make crazy money.

These properties are basically guaranteed. Even if they're bad films.

[harmless]

Which, basically, will almost guarantee they continue to be bad films.

[epilogue]

Totally. Why bother trying when not trying makes millions?

[bada]

Hope for the best expect the worst.

Which, basically, will almost guarantee they continue to be bad films.

The marvel films are a license to print money and largely quite good, though. So there's always hope

Totally. Why bother trying when not trying makes millions?

I hope you guys are not going to watch it then.

[lowlight79]

I'd be more sold on the batman movie in 19 if Affleck was just directing it. While I think his roles in films have been good in recent years. This being batamn thing could be a huge mistake.

[stip]

I assume he'll be fine. It's hard to get up in arms until you see them in character. These are actors after all, and while batman/Bruce Wayne is an interesting character it's hardly the most complex role in existence

It'll be the old "I had low expectations so I wasn't disappointed. I thoroughly enjoy giving those few waking hours that my job does not steal away to entertainment I expect to be subpar before it even begins."

[E.H. Ruddock]

It's funny, because i can have low expectations about a movie and enjoy the heck out of it. (Battleship, Battlefield L.A., Volcano, etc.)

But if i don't like a certain actor, i can never get over that hump. For me, Affleck is one of those actors.

[E.H. Ruddock]

So, bad movies I'm ok with. Just not actors who many think are good but are actually crap.
