Are we going to seeJason Momoarocking the orange and green suit from the comics inAquaman? A new rumor suggests that very well may be the case. Ever since Momoa was cast to play the iconic DC hero, it’s seemed like Warner Bros. and Zack Snyder before he ended his work onJustice League, were trying to move away from the image ofAquamanthat many people have in their minds. The DCEU version is a far cry from theSuper Friendsversion of the character that so many people are happy to poke fun at. However, the orange and green suit that is so closely associated with that classic version ofAquamanmay be showing up in the movie, which arrives in theaters this December.
This should be regarded as merely a rumor for now, but the news comes from the fan site TheAquamanShrine. According to them, someone who recently attended a Warner Bros. licensing event claims that the studio actually showed a costume that is “exactly” like themodern version from the world of DC Comics. Here’s what they had to say about it.
“Orange & green for Halloween? WB licensing event attendee says the Aquaman movie costume shown is ‘exactly’ like the modern comics version!”
Though the modern version ofAquamanin the DC Comics universe is still much cooler than the version from decades past, he still rocks a very classic orange and green suit. It’s a little tough topicture Jason Momoa wearing such a thing, given how he looked inJustice League, butAquamanis likely going to try and set itself apart from what we’ve seen previously. Not only that, but an image surfaced online last summer of an action figure that depicts Momoa in a version of the more iconic suit, and it eventually made its way to stores nationwide under theBatman V Supermantoylike. An updated version of the classic orange and green suit was then released for theJustice Leaguetoy line. So this isn’t the first we’ve heard, or even seen, of this possibly happening. And you can check out those action figures below to get a sense of what this might actually look like.
However, as DC fans know, rumored suits don’t always wind up in thefinal product. We had heard for more than a year leading up to the release ofJustice Leaguethat Henry Cavill’s Superman was going to be seen in his black suit from the comics. The suit never even showed up in the movie and, what’s more, based on a recently released deleted scene, it looks like the suit was only going to be seen in the movie on the Kryptonian ship. Superman was never actually going to wear it. With that in mind,Aquamanfans may want to temper their expectations just a bit.
Aquaman, which is directed by James Wan (The Conjuring,Furious 7), is theonly DCEU movie making its way to theatersthis year. So there’s a lot of pressure to deliver. Maybe a little fan service, such as the orange and green costume from the comics, done in just the right way, wouldn’t be a bad way to get off on the right foot. We’ll likely have to wait until the first trailer forAquamanarrives, at the very least, to find out if there’s any truth to this rumor. you’re able to check out the report, courtesy ofThe Aquaman Shrine Twitteraccount, for yourself below.
