For much of last year, Momoa evaded questions over his rumored involvement in the DC Cinematic Universe until Warner Bros. finally confirmed his casting. Afterwards, he has been much more open about the role, and his latest interview indicates just that. Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Momoa commented on the Aquaman reveal from last week and how Snyder gave him…

Here, we have a couple of news tidbits for CBS’ upcoming pilot and potential series, Supergirl.

Last year, before Warner Bros. announced its DC Cinematic Universe lineup, a Shazam film was one of the first movies to be confirmed, along with Justice League and Aquaman. However, it was later announced that Shazam would not hit theaters until April 5th, 2019, despite a screenwriter being hired and Dwayne Johnson being cast as Black Adam. So, it seems to be further along in development than, say, The Flash, which is coming out a year sooner and only has its lead actor attached. And now, Johnson suggests that we could indeed see Shazam earlier than expected. Speaking with MTV at the Oscars this weekend, Johnson revealed that, with progress…

Yesterday, director Zack Snyder revealed a first look at Momoa as the King of Atlantis, and he looks quite similar to the 1990s comic book version of the character (minus the hook hand, of course). Aquaman looks more barbaric and straight-up badass, which is what many expected when Momoa was cast. Speaking with Toofab, Wilkinson commented on designing this look for Aquaman. “It has been a thrill and an honor to bring this iconic…
