The success of “Aquaman” at the box office has come as a shot in the arm of Jason Momoa who had acted in HBO’s “Game of Thrones” apart from “Justice League.” He played a cameo in one of the Batman vs Superman Movies and gradually became an important name in the industry after portraying the role of Khal Drogo in GoT. However, his signature role will continue to be Aquaman and he thanks Zack Snyder for suggesting his name.
Screen Rant reports Jason Momoa is now on cloud nine with his portrayal of Arthur Curry in the movie “Aquaman” directed by James Wan.
The movie has made a huge impact at the box office of DC Extended Universe movies even though it hit the screens in the fag end of 2018. Obviously, it has many positives that sets it apart from other run-of-the-mill action movies
A sequel could be on the cards
Director James Wan did a remarkable job to ensure the success of “Aquaman.” He deserves full credit. In order to show his appreciation, Jason Momoa has expressed his gratitude to his fans and to everyone who had seen and enjoyed the movie. After all, viewers matter the most because their word of mouth helps to spread the message that draws the audience to the halls.

People expect a sequel to any movie that does well at the box office.
“Aquaman” is no exception. As its name suggests, it is an underwater adventure and its hero is Arthur Curry. He gets to know that he is the heir to the underwater kingdom of Atlantis, and he will have to lead his people. Right now, there are no plans for a sequel but the gross takings of nearing $1 billion worldwide does throw up possibilities of a sequel.
Of course, James Wan says he is not thinking on those lines right now but Warner Bros. and DC might have different ideas.
The movie did good business in China
According to the Express UK, the estimated production budget for “Aquaman” was $160 m and it went on to mint $135 million of the worldwide profit from China where it opened on December 7.
This movie can claim to be the highest grossing DC Extended Universe picture in China. It released in more than 600 sites on Wednesday, December 12. The bosses in Warner Bros. Entertainment UK, Eire and Spain are happy at the results during the holiday season. “Aquaman” is an action packed adventure movie and it was difficult to shoot the underwater sequences. The combination of Jason Momoa and James Wan has clicked and they are set to make history as Aquaman joins the ranks of comic book characters like Batman and Superman.
