“I am in love [James] Gunn and company there’s going to be some really cool things they’re doing with DC and I’m definitely going to be in more than one,” Jason Momoa said at the Sundance Film Festival on Friday when asked about his future in the DC Universe would.
“There’s room for me to play a few others [roles]said the Aquaman actor.
“I saw other actors doing it. Yes. I want a shot.”
At the Park City shindig ahead of today’s premiere of the documentary film Deep Rising, which Momoa will narrate and executive produce, the Game of Thrones alum described a recent meeting with David Zaslav, CEO of Warner Bros Discovery, to discuss his next steps in the… Sketch media and comic giant.
“We have a special relationship … I wish I could say more,” Momoa added when asked if he would give up his DC superhero role like so many of his Justice League peers did under the Gunn and Peter regime saffron seem to do .
“I’ll always be Aquaman, and there’s a lot of evolution for that. So I’m not going anywhere and it’s very exciting,” the actor said.
With the sequel Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom slated for a Christmas Day release, Momoa is clearly a high priority for DC and WBD. Along with Flash star Ezra Miller, Momoa made a brief cameo appearance in last year’s Gunn-created Peacemaker Season 1 finale.
Joking that he could play multiple superhero characters in the way Ryan Reynolds has played Green Lantern and now Deadpool, Momoa left no doubt that his conversation with Zaslav was a success on both sides of the table.
“It was really wonderful to be over there and Warner Bros is a home,” he said.
“There’s a lot of things we’re going to do over there.”
The original 2018 Aquaman remains the highest-grossing DC film of all time, grossing $1.1 billion worldwide.
While at Deadline Sundance Studio today, Momoa not only talked about Deep Rising and DC, but also had a Game of Thrones reunion with ex-co-star Emilia Clarke. Clarke is at Sundance promoting Pod Generation, which gets a lot of attention.
