When you’re the king of the seven seas, you probably have free reign to do and rule as you please. So long as you don’t tick off your subjects or even your possible superiors as well. Take Arthur Curry, for example. Or his real life counterpart, Jason Momoa, who will continue in the role of Arthur when Aquaman hits theaters in a few weeks. And it’s not just Momoa himself that will be in the film. Sure, there are other cast members as well, but this is about the rest of the family.
Yes, Jason Momoa’s two kids will also be appearing in the film for a quick cameo. How’d they make that happen? Well, you’d have to ask James Wan that question. Literally. Turns out that the director of the film did, in fact, shoot a scene for Momoa’s kids to appear in Aquaman. But as you know, not everything that a director shoots ultimately ends up in the final project. And when speaking with Amber Heard, Momoa revealed how his kids found out from Wan whether they were still in the film. Observe:
“My daughter rolled up like, ‘You cut us out of the movie?’ And James was like ‘No, no, no, no, no you’re back in the movie!’ I’m like ‘You cut my kids out of the movie, James?!”
All in good fun and jest, though, as the appearance by Momoa’s kids was ultimately placed in the film that fans will have a chance to see when it hits theaters in a few weeks. However, Momoa made sure that his kids did not get the idea that their quick cameo would suddenly springboard them into a full-fledged acting career:
“They were really excited to be in it. I was like, ‘Don’t be so excited to be in a movie…you’re not allowed to act.’”
So basically keep an eye out if you happen to remember how Jason Momoa’s kids look, as he did share a photo of them while on set for the film. Keep a close eye out for them when the film hits theaters and stay tuned for more Aquaman updates as the film’s release date approaches.
Directed by James Wan, Aquaman stars Jason Momoa, Amber Heard, Willem Dafoe, Patrick Wilson, Dolph Lundgren, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, and Nicole Kidman.
The film will swim into theaters on December 21, 2018.
