Prior to the announcment, Momoa refused to confirm or deny any rumors about playing Aquaman in any film adaptation.

Back in June, Hitfix reported Momoa will also appear in a brief role in 2016's "Batman V Superman" movie. "What we're hearing is that he [Aquaman] is not pleased about the World Engine and what it did to the Indian Ocean."
