Jason Momoa, known around these parts asย Game of Thrones‘ Khal Drogo, but also gearing up to play the DC superhero Aquaman, recently sat down for a promotional event for Ubisoft’s brand new releaseย For Honor. Momoa answered several questions about the game in an interview with Digital Trends, but they of course had to ask him about playing DC’s oft-maligned superhero. Momoa had several interesting responses to what he is excited for in the film and the particular challenges of the character.

Momoa typically plays extremely badass characters (Khal Drogo, Conan the Barbarian), and Aquaman has typically been portrayed in pop culture as anything but. When asked about how he and directors Zack Snyder (theย Justice League director, in which Aquaman will appear) and James Wan (who is directing theย Aquamanย solo film) will make the character modern and appealing to the current generation, Momoa gushed about his favorite parts of the film:

“[It’s tough because] Iโ€™m getting made fun of a little bit. But the cool thing with Aquaman is how it taps into the native culture and thatโ€™s something that weโ€™re only taught a little about, so thereโ€™s a lot of interesting things. I really think itโ€™s the right time.ย  Itโ€™s really cool. Zack is one of those perspectives on it and DC is really getting behind it. It was a ballsy step. They did it, and Iโ€™m extremely happy with the world theyโ€™ve created. Itโ€™s an honor to be part of this.”

Momoa as Aquaman from Batman v Superman.

Momoa states he is not a big gamer (although he and fellowย Game of Thrones actor Alfie Allen took down Theย Walking Dead‘s Lauren Cohen and UFC fighter Demetriusย Johnson in theirย For Honor scrap), he also thinks that this version ofย Aquaman would make for “an absolutely amazing game.”

Momoa seems like he’s pretty down to earth, and he will hopefully be able to bring his onscreen intensity to a character who could use a face lift. Aquaman will appear inย Justice League on November 17, 2017, and then in his solo film October 5, 2018.

Excited to see Khal Drogo take to the sea? Let us know in the comments below.
