Before Jason Momoa took on the role, Aquaman had become a joke in pop culture. So much so that Geoff Johns confronted the jokes in his New 52 run. Even HBO’s Entourage featured a fictional James Cameron Aquaman movie that would actually became a massive success in the series. The real first ever Aquaman film hits theaters in the states this week and Wan was asked by The Wrap if he was inspired by the spoof at all, where he jokingly responded:
“No, I’m sorry to say that to you ‘Entourage’ fans out there. No, if anything, I probably was inspired more by Cameron’s ‘Avatar’ than his ‘Entourage.’”
Do you think Aquaman has better visuals than Avatar? Comment below!
From Warner Bros. Pictures and director James Wan comes an acition-packed adventure that spans the vast, visually breathtaking underwater world of the seven seas, “Aquaman,” starring Jason Momoa in the title role.

Directed by James Wan, Aquaman stars Jason Momoa as Arthur Curry, Amber Heard as Mera, Willem Dafoe as Vulko, Patrick Wilson as Orm / Ocean Master, Dolph Lundgren as Nereus, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Black Manta, Nicole Kidman as Atlanna, Ludi Lin as Captain Murk, and Temuera Morrison as Tom Curry.
