Jason Momoa on DC Meeting With James Gunn: ‘I’ll Always Be Aquaman’ and Might Play ‘Other Characters, Too’
By Zack Sharf
“I’ll always be Aquaman,” Jason Momoa proclaimed at the Variety Studio presented by Audible at Sundance. Momoa is at the Park City festival as the narrator of the new documentary “Deep Rising,” which investigates organizations that are extracting metals from the deep seafloor. Momoa recently met new DC Studio heads James Gunn and Peter Safran to talk about his future in the DC Universe, in which he’s played Aquaman in several movies.
“It’s very, very wonderful,” Momoa said of the meeting. “I’m in the house of Warner Bros. and they are liking a lot of stuff I’m doing. We got a lot of good things coming.”
One thing coming is Momoa’s second standalone “Aquaman” movie, “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.” There’s also rumors that Momoa will be playing a different superhero character, Lobo, in the new DC Universe under Gunn and Safran. Momoa would not confirm such rumors, but he did say “there might be other characters” coming from him down the line regarding DC.
“The beautiful thing [about ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’] is me and my partner wrote the first treatment for it and it was about a 55-page treatment, and a lot of it has to deal with me talking to the U.N. about what’s happening with the melting ice caps,” Momoa said. “There’s no far off galaxy coming to destroy us or aliens from another place. It’s us ruining our planet. We need to get it together and save our home.”
Momoa concluded, “I’ll always be Aquaman. Ain’t anyone coming in there and taking shit. There might be some other characters, too. I can play other things, too. I can be funny and savage and charming.”
The climate change themes inherit in the “Aquaman” movies tie directly to Momoa’s Sundance documentary “Deep Rising.” The actor said he’s open to participating in more environmental films.
“Listen, I never though in a million years that people would be using my voice,” Momoa said. “It’s wonderful and I just want to shine a light on films like this.”
Dave Bautista no longer feels he can 'bring justice to Bane' as James Gunn reboots DC 'from scratch'
Though his Guardians of the Galaxy director is now in charge of DC Films, Dave Bautista won't get to fulfill his dream of playing Bane, Batman's back-breaking antagonist.
Dave Bautista wanted to play Bane in new DC movies, but got turned down by James Gunn
The actor concedes that maybe it's for the best: "I just don't know if I could handle the physical part, and I don't think I would have the longevity to plan ahead for films."

Imagine Dave Bautista breaking Batman's back with a Batista Bomb. Well, it could have happened.
Back in 2021, Bautista told an audience at Justice Con that he had personally lobbied Warner Bros. for a chance to play Batman's super-strong antagonist. That was before James Gunn, who worked with Bautista on Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy movies, became DC's shepherd of superheroes, so he tried it again once his previous collaborator was in place. Unfortunately, it's unlikely we'll ever see him in the supervillain's signature headgear.
"I have had conversations with James about that but I think the direction he's leaning in, completely rebooting that whole universe, he's starting from scratch and starting younger and fresher and I think you need to do that," Bautista told Insider.
Dave Bautista once harbored dreams of playing Batman villain Bane, but now acknowledges he's too old for the role.

He continued, "You need to start to plan for the next 15 years, and I just don't think you can do that with me. I understand that. And, also, I have to say that I appreciate that because I don't want to play a character that I can't bring justice to it. I don't think at this point in my career that I can bring justice to Bane anymore. I just don't know if I could handle the physical part, and I don't think I would have the longevity to plan ahead for films."
Perhaps Bautista's days in superhero films are behind him. After all, the wrestler-turned-actor will say farewell to his years-long role as Drax the Destroyer in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 later this year. He doesn't sound too sad about it, either. "It wasn't all pleasant. It was hard playing that role. The makeup process was beating me down," he told GQ, adding that he wants to do "more dramatic stuff."
He's getting his wish, too. He recently played a body-building men's rights influencer in Rian Johnson's Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery for Netflix. He also has a major role in M. Night Shyamalan's upcoming thriller Knock at the Cabin. He'll also return as Glossu Rabban Harkonnen in the second installment of Denis Villeneuve's sci-fi epic Dune later this year. Speaking with EW in 2021, Bautista credited Villeneuve in particular for getting people to take him more seriously as an actor.

Howl CEO Li Haslett Chen is stepping down from the board of directors at Warner Bros. Discovery.
The Hollywood studio in a regulatory filing on Monday announced the departure of Haslett Chen, who was named as an independent director and board member at WBD in April 2022. Her exit, set for Jan. 31, could open the way for a high-profile addition to the WBD board next year.
The departure also follows the Hollywood studio, led by CEO David Zaslav, unveiling plans to rework its corporate structure with an eye toward a possible spinoff of its legacy TV assets. Earlier this month, WBD said it was reorganizing its corporate structure into a global linear TV division, separate from its streaming and studios division.
Haslett Chen launched and runs Howl, a retail media and social commerce player that focuses on digital platforms like YouTube, TikTok and Instagram. She pointed to focusing on her own business for stepping away from WBD after three years on the board.
“In the past year, Howl has pioneered strategic partnerships with industry-leading retail media networks and launched an innovative new platform. As Howl enters a major phase of growth in 2025, I have decided to dedicate my full attention to the company during this exciting time,” Chen said in a statement.
Samuel A. Di Piazza Jr., chair of the WBD board, praised Haslett Chen as she looks to complete her work with the Hollywood studio.
“Li has been an exceptionally engaged and dedicated member of the board, bringing unique insights and deep technology expertise that have been valuable as we have overseen management’s strategic progress. We wish Li the best in her future endeavors,” Di Piazza said in a statemen

Yeah the tone and look of Superman along with the casting and characters for the Supergirl movie give me a good idea what they're going for and I definitely agree that it's sounding promising.
I would like to see DC get a string of wins
Especially with Marvel back focused
Because I feel like however small?
Feige and Gunn are the only 2 that could make a Marvel v DC event happen.
Wouldn't that be a dope ass convention funded by both companies
