Aquaman: Jason Momoa teases plot, assures fans his role is 'different' from Justice League [PHOTO]

With Justice League done and dusted, DCEU and Warner Bros are focusing on upcoming projects. The next release by the studios is Aquaman, and it is evident that WB is keen on moving on from the debacle that Justice League was: It recently dropped the first look of Jason Momoa from the December 2018 release.

Although there wasn't much revealed in the picture, except a hot shirtless Jason Momoa walking in an unfamiliar smoggy alley, the actor himself dropped a few teases that made fans online excited about the movie, especially after the disastrous Justice League.

Discussing his role with Entertainment Weekly, Momoa assured fans that Aquaman's Arthur Curry would be different from what was seen in Justice League. "Justice League was only a weekend in Arthur Curry's life," Momoa said.

"This is a totally different beast. In Aquaman, you see when his parents met and what happened to them. Then the little boy being raised and finding his powers and going through that and never being accepted on either side. And then becoming this man who puts up all these walls. You just slowly see this man harden up and be completely reluctant wanting to be king and not knowing what to do with these powers he has. I think James Wan just killed it," he told the website.

Echoing Momoa, director James Wan also said Aquaman would be a different movie. "It's going to look very different, it will feel very different — aesthetically, tonally, story-wise — it's my own take. It's a much more a traditional action-adventure quest movie," he said.

The Aquaman director also revealed he was given two options – either he could take up The Flash or film the first Aquaman movie. The horror film director chose the latter.

Explaining why, he said: "Aquaman has been the joke of the comic book world, but the more I thought about it, the more I thought how cool that would be. Let's take the character everybody makes fun of and do something really interesting with him."

Apart from the first look, Warner Bros also announced their upcoming DC projects. Starting from Aquaman on December 21, 2018, the studio will work towards releasing Wonder Woman 2 on November 1, 2019, Shazam on April 5, 2019, and Cyborg and Green Lantern Corps in 2020.

In between, the studio will also announce the release date of Flashpoint, Suicide Squad 2, The Batman, Batgirl and Justice League Dark, to name a few.
