“He’s made fun of and ridiculed”: Jason Momoa Did Not Have the Easiest Time in DCU Before His $1.1 Billion Movie
As DCEU is gearing up for the Aquaman sequel, much information about the film has been coming to light since the announcement of the movie as it was teased at the cinema this year. The film was undoubtedly one of the biggest superhero films with a worldwide box-office earning amounting to a billion dollars.
Jason Momoa who plays Aquaman did express his surprise at the first film’s success. And it seems that the first film had been much more difficult to film than the second installment. And it was all a result of the lack of better water technology and equipment.

However, the actor opens up in the Men’s Health cover story that most of what he wrote in the treatment was not followed completely in the film. As for playing the role, Momoa has shared that the character is one of the “hardest in comic book history”. And praising the character he said
“He’s made fun of and ridiculed, but I tried to give it heart and soul, and I’m proud of it in certain ways.”
Furthermore, the director James Wan also revealed some glimpses of the filmmaking process. According to the director, the sequel was much easier for the actors to film as there is much better underwater technology available these days.
