Game of Thrones actor Jason Momoa might get replaced as Aquaman at a later stage in the franchise
A good story makes us identify the actors with their respective characters. However, an actor’s skill lies in her/his ability to switch from one character to another with seamless ease. Game of Thrones brought fame to a number of actors. But due to the show’s nature of killing major characters off, many of them went on to star in other projects early on. Jason Momoa, who played the mighty Khal Drogo, left the show after the first season yet remained afloat in our minds. When one could not imagine if he would get so much success anywhere else, he created a franchise on his own with Aquaman. Although he’s confirmed for Aquaman 2, we now hear that Warner Bros. might be looking for a replacement towards the later phase of the marine superhero’s story.
A report by We Got This Covered suggests that the studio plans a long haul for Aquaman. They intend to make him a legacy character (that acts as a symbol and can be passed on to other chosen ones). So, Jason Momoa will continue playing the underwater superhero till Aquaman 3. By that time, Arthur Curry would have become the King of Atlantis. Thus, he would not be able to continue his Aquaman duties owing to his royal responsibilities. The king would hence, transfer the mantle to a worthy successor.
The next Aquaman could be a character from the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) called Kaldur’ahm or Kaldur; a member of the team of Young Justice. He is the son of Aquaman’s archenemy, Black Manta, and later becomes Aqualad, a protégé under Aquaman. His journey in the comics leads towards becoming a natural leader of Young Justice. And finally taking on Aquaman’s role under his King’s rule. The report believes that the on-screen adventures of Aquaman could lead to a similar path. So, Jason Momoa may still remain in this universe after all this; just that he would be playing a supporting role then.
No official sources have confirmed it yet, but the report claims its sources are accurate. Some of us may not enjoy hearing about this, but it’s a long way ahead. Director James Wan and Momoa received universal praise for the successful portrayal of a character that was long believed to be a misfit for a superhero-film. The American actor will hopefully be Aquaman for quite some time and show us all his moves till he retires from duty. Moreover, Aquaman 2 is slated to release in December 2022, and we await Jason’s return; there’s also a horror-themed spinoff in works, named The Trench.

Game of Thrones had plenty of social messages hidden in plain sight. Though it may not be too obvious, it was a representation of our own society. According to recent research, the fantasy show is very similar to real-world human interactions. That’s the reason why the show was such a big hit, people could relate to the characters. The series was a big platform to showcase the Domestic Abuse women face behind closed doors. Mother of Dragons, Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen), has come forward in support of them.
Emilia posted a picture on her Instagram with a heart symbol drawn on her hand. She captioned, “This is something I care deeply about, and a problem that is everywhere, but behind closed doors.
For far too many home isn’t a safe place for those living with domestic abuse. I want to reach out and connect to anyone reading this who may feel scared in their own homes during this time.
At home should not mean at risk – we support you. #YouAreNotAlone.
If you or anyone you know is at risk of, or experiencing domestic abuse, you can leave your home to seek refuge. The police will respond to your calls and support services remain available.
Call 999 if you are in immediate danger. If you can’t speak and are calling from a mobile, listen to the operator and, when prompted, dial 55 to be connected to the police who will help.
If you suspect a neighbour or someone you know is currently experiencing domestic abuse please do call 999 and let them take the situation forward.”

Even though the year 2020 has ruined so many holidays for us, we can’t let go of the festive mood. Christmas is around the corner, and it’s time for cakes, cookies and presents! Festivals are one of the few occasions that strengthen the bonds of a family. It seems like singer Joe Jonas is already a step ahead, gifting his wife Sophie Turner an early Christmas present. The Game of Thrones star was really happy about it and proudly showed it off on Instagram.
Joe gifted her a T-shirt covered in throwback photos of singer and actress Miley Cyrus. The top is emblazoned with the words ‘Hannah Montana’. It features photos of Cyrus both in character as the Disney icon Hannah, who she played between 2006 and 2011, and as herself after she had shed her Disney image.
“Thanks to the Hubbs of the year for my early Christmas gift,” Turner wrote alongside a photo of herself posing in her new item of clothing.
They welcomed their baby daughter Willa in July this year. Sophie has got a tattoo tribute to her daughter. She has the letter W inked on her wrist below the J she already had for her husband.
Send your best wishes to Sophie and her cute little family in the comments below! Merry Christmas to all of you!
Game of Thrones ended more than a year ago. The fans of the fantasy series miss the show dearly. The cast of the show has moved on to newer projects. Kit Harington (Jon Snow) is busy shooting for Modern Love (And preparing for fatherhood as well). Iain Glenn (Ser Jorah Mormont) has completed the shooting of his upcoming movie The Racer.
Directed by Kieron J Walsh, the movie circles around a series of scandals that took place at the 1998 Tour de France. The film was the opening film for the Cork International Film Festival. Though fictional, The Racer shows the dangerous lengths teams will go to for a competitive edge. Iain Glen plays the team’s Mr Fixit with the syringes and vials, Sonny McElhone.
Vertigo Releasing will be releasing The Racer in UK cinemas and on streaming platforms from 18 December. The Racer was due to premiere at SXSW back in March before it was cancelled due to COVID-19.
Empire.com has shared an exclusive clip from the movie along with a poster. Below are some snaps from the clip. Let’s check them out!
