Momoa confirms he offered studio a 'layout' for Aquaman 2

Jason Momoa confirmed that he recently weighed in on the Aquaman sequel with executives at Warner Bros.

Los Angeles: As Aquaman in Aquaman, Jason Momoa understandably received top billing. But there may be more in store than an acting credit for Momoa for Aquaman 2.

"I'm very passionate about that, the direction of where Aquaman goes," Momoa said on October 20, while promoting his new Apple TV+ limited series See.

Momoa confirmed that he recently weighed in on the Aquaman sequel with executives at Warner Bros., which distributes the DC Comics-based franchise.

In Aquaman 2, Jason's character was caught between a surface world constantly ravaging the sea and the undersea Atlanteans, who are ready to lash out in revolt.

Aquaman is the king of Atlantis, a DC Comics character who was born half-human as Arthur Curry and half-Atlantean. He was first introduced in the early 1940s. Momoa made his debut as Aquaman in March in a cameo in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and will reprise that role in Justice League too.

Taking in over a billion dollars worldwide, the 2018 Aquaman is currently the highest-grossing film based on a single DC character.

The sequel is set for December 2022 release.

"I went in with an idea, and a pretty good layout of what I would like to do with the second one," Momoa explained, adding that what he suggested was well received.

"A lot of support," Momoa continued. "Absolute, a lot of support from Warner Bros. and DC (Films). So, it'll always be a team vision. But I definitely wanted to express my passion about No. 2."
