Jason Momoa Reportedly 'Totally' Playing Aquaman in Batman V Superman Dawn of Justice

Rumors of former Game of Thrones star Jason Momoa appearing as Aquaman in Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice have circulated and persisted for months even though the actor has repeatedly denied the possibility in various interviews. He even started to have some fun with it recently.

But a new report from HitFix claims the actor is "totally" playing the King of Atlantis in Zack Snyder's superhero sequel:

"While Warner Bros. hasn't made that announcement officially yet, HitFix can confirm that he will be playing the part, and that Zack Snyder has already finalized his designs for the character so shooting can take place soon."

Furthermore, the site claims it knows how and why Aquaman would appear in the movie. The final act of Man of Steel features a titanic battle between Superman and General Zod in which the villain uses something called a World Engine to try and terraform the planet into a new Krypton. Superman destroys the engine in the Indian Ocean and then resumes the battle with Zod in Metropolis, which suffers extreme damage.

It seems clear by the end of the film that Superman must deal with the consequences of the fight, and Aquaman is apparently not too happy about his activity in the water.

"Someone else who's not particularly happy about what happened in that film is Aquaman. I'm not sure if that's the actual name they'll use or not, but what we're hearing is that he is not pleased about the World Engine and what it did to the Indian Ocean. He will not have a major role in the film, but he will make an appearance, and it definitely sets him up to return once Snyder gets to Justice League."

Momoa seemingly decided to have some with this recent news, as well, as he posted this photo on Instagram:
