The coming live action Justice League movie will likely have a full line up of heroes and this includes Aquaman, the butt of so many superhero jokes. But with Jason Momoa (best known as Khal Drago from Game of Thrones) in the role, the nautical hero may start getting the respect he deserves.

Aquaman will make an appearance in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice before helming is own film in 2018. These films are all part of the DC Movie-Verse so there will also likely be some overlap with other super films slated on the same schedule.
