Now, with Aquaman on the horizon, Jason Momoa’s remarks in his interview with EW, the character will now have a more well-rounded life with a child, a wife (Amber Heard’s Mera), and responsibilities that were not apparent in previous films.
The Arthur Curry seen in Justice League is a far cry from the character who will show up in Aquaman.
Momoa was worried about the lack of these elements in JusticeLeague, and it was the idea that the fight against Steppenwolf only represented a small fraction of Arthur’s life that put him at ease.
Though he’s portrayed as a tough loner with little allegiance to a real home, the film’s conclusion showcases his acceptance of his role as Aquaman and his place as the ruler of Atlantis.
