Following this morning’s reveal from WB and DC that actor Jason Momoa is 100% officially playing Aquaman, the actor took to instagram to finally confirm the report after months of denying it:

According to the report, Momoa will be filming a cameo role in the upcoming Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice as well as reprising the role in the solo-film in 2018 and the two Justice League films.

Rumors also have begun to reveal the characters set in the upcoming solo-film, as well as the purpose of Aquaman’s inclusion in BvS:DOJ. According to twitter account, TheAquamanShrine, long-time baddie Black Manta, Aquaman’s brother Orm, aka Ocean Master, the Queen of Atlantis Mera, and The Trench, are all set to debut in the solo-film. So why is he in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice? Apparently the destroyed “World Engine” from Man Of Steel sunk and crushed a part of his kingdom, and Aquaman is forced to come to the surface and seek justice, leading to his eventual allegiance with Superman and Batman.
