Jason Momoa is reported to have signed on to play Aquaman in Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League .

Hitfix reports that the long-held rumours are true, and that while Warner Bros. are yet to make the announcement, the Game of Thrones and Conan star is definitely a lock – and that Zack Snyder has already finalised his designs for the character.

Not only that, but the site has alleged plot details for the Man of Steel sequel, too. *POTENTIAL SPOILERS AHEAD* Allegedly, all that mega-destruction unleashed by Superman’s climatic fight with Zod will indeed have repercussions.

Notably, Momoa’s character (ostensibly Aquaman, but potentially named something different in the Dawn of Justice script) isn’t too happy with the destruction that was unleashed upon the Indian Ocean as a result of Zod’s World Engine, which cues up a bigger appearance in Justice League.

Only time will tell if Hitfix are on the money, but we’d certainly be down with the idea of a Momoa Aquaman.

Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice hits cinemas from 6 May 2016.

Ben Affleck has commented on his casting as Batman in a lengthy interview with Playboy magazine, in which he explains that his version of the character will not attempt to compete with Christian Bale’s.

“I don’t want to give away too much, but the idea for the new Batman is to redefine him in a way that doesn’t compete with Bale and Christopher Nolan’s Batman but still exists within the Batman canon,” says Affleck.

“It will be an older and wiser version, particularly as he relates to Henry Cavill’s Superman character.” Intriguingly however, it wasn’t initially a character that floated Affleck’s boat…

“When they asked if I would be Batman, I told them I don’t see myself in the role and I was going to have to beg off,” says the star, before revealing that it was Zack Snyder and David S. Goyer who won him around.

“They said I’d fit well into how they were going to approach the character and asked me to look at what the writer-director, Zack Snyder, was doing. The stuff was incredible. It was a unique take on Batman that was still consistent with the mythology.”

Colour us excited. Batman vs. Superman will open in the US on 17 July 2015.
