Speaking recently to GQ, Jason Momoa shared some insight on what audiences can expect to see in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.

Speaking about the relevance of the Aquaman sequel to issues facing the world today, Jason Momoa said:

“These superhero movies dominate our market, which I have my own thoughts on because I love cinema, but we try to put out a positive message and go on an adventure. Aquaman is the most made-fun-of superhero in the world. But it’s amazing to be able to bring awareness of what is happening to our planet. It’s not some story that’s been told over and over, [it’s a] movie about what’s happening right now but in a fantasy world.”

The actor went on to say that “we really get to speed up what is going to happen to this earth, and it’s not because of aliens.” Superhero stories have often had messages to impart on issues facing the real world, whether it’s Captain America combating Nazism or the X-Men conquering prejudice, and it sounds like Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom will continue this tradition.
