He is the first DCEU actor to jump ship to the DCU. Starting in 2016, Momoa played Aquaman in the now-defunct DCEU. He led two solo movies and also appeared in Justice League and The Flash. His debut came as a cameo in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

The first Aquaman movie was a big hit for Momoa. It grossed over $1.1 billion worldwide at the box office. However, the sequel was riddled with problems and only grossed $439 million worldwide.

It was the final entry in the DCEU before it went under. Momoa now gets a chance to redeem himself after the DCEU's messy ending.

Outside of his roles as DC characters, Momoa is known for his role in Game of Thrones. Momoa had a recurring role as Khal Drogo in the series from 2011-12.

He has also had roles in Dune and Fast X. Momoa will soon have a starring role in The Minecraft Movie. He also produced the live-action iteration of the popular video game.

Soon, he will also star in Chief of War, a new Apple TV+ series. Momoa co-created the series with Thomas Pa'a Sibbett. They are also credited as executive producers of the series.

In Chief of War, Momoa will reunite with his Aquaman co-star Temuera Morrison. Morrison will play Chief Kahekili in the upcoming series.
