Explaining that Peter Safran and James Gunn who were recently appointed to lead future DC film projects want "to start their own new thing up," Momoa said he "don’t necessarily want it to be the end... [but] I don’t think it's really, like, a choice."

"The truth of it is, I mean, if the audience loves it, then there's a possibility," he stated about the chance of whether he will play 'Aquaman' in the future."

"But right now, I’m like, 'It's not looking too good,'" he added.

"I love this character and [I would want to] play it for a long time," he continued.

Momoa, who took on the role of Justice League's 'Aquaman' in 2017 reflected on the challenge of transforming the character from a historically mocked figure into a gritty and beloved hero as he says it was "a really hard g**damn thing to do."
