We've previously reported that Jeff Sneider of The Wrap overheard some news about Aquaman's involvement in the upcoming "Batman V Superman Dawn of Justice" movie. Sneider was at a luncheon for the Toronto International Film Festival when he heard a couple of gentlemen talking about working with Zack Snyder. In the podcast below, Sneider explains the possibility that Aquaman may have already been involved in 2013's Man of Steel.
Months ago, Entertainment Weekly tried to get "Khal Drogo" to confirm his role as the trident-wielding superhero, this was all the Game of Thrones actor had to say:
"Well, I'm really excited for it [Batman vs. Superman] to come out in 2016, I'll tell you that much," said the 35 year-old actor. "I'm really excited to see what is happening in that world."
The long wait is over for fans and followers, as Warner Bros. has officially announced that the King of Atlantis will be appearing on the upcoming Batman Vs Superman: Dawn of Justice movie - And yes, he will be played by Game of Thrones actor Jason Momoa.
