“Aquaman” director James Wan won’t say much about Jason Momoa‘s upcoming DC film, except that it will be made in the spirit of an “Indiana Jones” film.
“I kind of don’t want to give too much away, but know this: The spirit that I’m going for is like a classic sort of swashbuckling action adventure, sort of high seas adventure story,” Wan told Entertainment Tonight. “It’s a quest story potentially in the spirit of ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’ meets ‘Romancing the Stone.'”
“Aquaman,” which will hit theaters on July 27, 2018, also stars Amber Heard as Mera, the queen of Atlantis. But before then, the duo will appear in “Justice League” alongside Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot and Henry Cavill in November of next year.
“I think Amber [Heard] and Jason Momoa, in their moments in ‘Justice League,’ is going to give the rest of the world a flavor of what their own standalone movie could be,” added Wan. “And that is just scratching the surface of what I plan to do.”
In June, the “Furious 7” director revealed that he had to choose between directing “Aquaman” and “The Flash,” ultimately choosing the former because he liked “the possibility of creating a whole new world.”
Jason Momoa Thanks 'Justice League' Crew With Shirtless Photo as Filming Wraps (Photo)
"Justice League" star Jason Momoa is thanking the cast and crew as filming wraps the only way he knows how: with a picture of himself shirtless.
"There's to [sic] many people to thank for all their hard work JL," Momoa wrote on Instagram. "Tonight is our wrap party. I am so thankful for my cast and crew. I love you. I have never in my life missed a wrap party But as you all know I'm a huge fan of the food and merriment!!!!"
"Unfortunately I prepare for the north. For those that will be there. I WON'T let you down," he concluded, most likely referring to his upcoming role in the "Aquaman" standalone film.
Of course, one could jump to the crazy conclusion that Momoa was referring to a return to "Game of Thrones." A picture he posted back in August with show creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss got fans buzzing about a possible return of Khal Drogo.Â
Zack Snyder is directing "Justice League," which unites superheroes Batman (Ben Affleck), Superman (Henry Cavill), Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), Aquaman (Momoa), The Flash (Ezra Miller) and Cyborg (Ray Fisher).
Charles Roven and Deborah Snyder are producing the film, which was written by Chris Terrio, who wrote Affleck's Best Picture winner "Argo."
"Justice League" is scheduled to premiere Nov. 17, 2017.
