Jason Momoa Says ‘Wonder Woman’ and ‘Iron Man’ Opened the Door for ‘Aquaman’

The superhero genre is evolving. The list of characters that get movies has expanded beyond the biggest, most-established mainstream icons. Aquaman star Jason Momoa knows this and appreciates those that have helped pave the way for his new film.

Years ago, the idea of Aquaman getting his own movie was out of the question. Warner Bros. let the HBO series Entourage pretend they were making an Aquaman film because the chances of a real one getting made were slim. Since then, there have been a few rolls of the dice that proved audiences actually want more than Batman, Superman, and Spider-Man.
