AQUAMAN: Here's A Closer Look At Arthur Curry's Yellow And Green Comic Accurate Costume - SPOILERS

@SonOfAGif - Patty said a similar statement during Wonder Woman where Gal Gadot wasn't her ideal choice for Wonder Woman...until she got to actually know the actress involved.

When Wan signed up, he knew, just like Patty knew. Negotiations also take time, so who knows, maybe Wan knew Momoa was cast and was okay or understood it. This was all back in 2014-2015 when it was announced, so yeah.

@bcom - Right but a director has a vision for the film and an actor may not fit the bill. Look at Matt Reeves. His Batman film written and thought of without Affleck. He didn't want Affleck.

If you look at everything we have seen for Aquaman thus far this new vision is totally different from the Atlantis Snyder created in Justice League.

Look at how comic accurate Orm & Black Manta look. Snyder would have never went that route because he wanted a dark and savage looking Aquaman world. And that is why he cast Momoa because he has that grizzly look.

@Ragnarocknroll - We are stuck with her though and if she got recasted the feminists would be up and arms and Brett Ratner would have taken even more heat.

@SonOfAGif - I don't think that it wasn't that he didn't want Affleck. I think WB and DC had to think about keeping the script flexible to a certain degree for if Ben decided to leave or not.

I guess we won't know the full story about that as it's all reported rumors at the moment but there's been a lot of "will he / won't he?" speculation about Ben continuing as Batman. He started off writing, directing and starring in The Batman and then announced he won't be directing because he thought he was taking on too much and wanted to concentrate more on the acting. He picked Reeves as the director so I wouldn't think Reeves first move would be to kick Ben to the curb. I think it's more about Reeves and WB keeping their options open for if Ben decides to step down as the bat.

Personally, I think what we've seen of Aquaman so far looks great and that Momoa is still great casting. In fact, if you look at all of the characters in JL, he was one of the ligher, jokier ones. I don't think his casting was ever an issue for Wan. Like I said, he was bought on as director long after Momoa was cast so if his vision didn't suit the studio and the actors, he wouldn't have taken or gotten the job.

@dark1150 - lol. So ridiculous and untrue. Awesome comment though just for the sheer perversity of it. Giving you a Like.

@LNBfett12 - LOL!
