A year later, he took center stage in the Aquaman movie, which soared past $1 billion at the worldwide box office and is still DC’s highest-grossing film.
Following a cameo in 2016’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Momoa fully debuted as Arthur Curry in 2017’s Justice League.
Luckily for Jason Momoa, his fortunes shifted when he was selected to play Aquaman in the DCEU, with his casting becoming official in June 2014.
Now Momoa is a bonafide Hollywood star, and he’s not just collecting new fans for playing Aquaman.
