Following his brief debut in 2016&#8217;s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Momoa returned as the character for a starring role a year later in Justice League. He then got to shine on his own in 2018&#8217;s Aquaman, and five years later, in its sequel, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With his time as the character in the past, one wouldn&#8217;t necessarily expect new looks at him as Arthur Curry to come around. Surprisingly, thanks to Zack Snyder, we now, in fact, have a new look at the actor\u00a0as the aquatic hero.\u00a0Continuing his series of DC portraits, Snyder took to Instagram to share a never-before-seen BTS image of Jason Momoa&#8217;s\u00a0Aquaman.<\/p>\n<p>Similar to previous pictures he&#8217;s posted of Ben Affleck&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/comicbookmovie.com\/batman_vs_superman\/batman-v-superman-director-zack-snyder-shares-never-before-seen-favorite-photo-of-ben-afflecks-batman-a224387\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Batman<\/strong><\/a>, Jared Leto&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/comicbookmovie.com\/justice-league\/zack-snyder-shares-creepy-new-picture-of-jared-letos-joker-in-zack-snyders-justice-league-a224639\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Joker<\/strong><\/a> and Joe Manganiello&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/comicbookmovie.com\/justice-league\/justice-league-director-zack-snyder-shares-a-new-look-at-joe-manganiello-as-the-perfect-deathstroke-a224364\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Deathstroke<\/strong><\/a>, the picture is in black and white:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DQ-j-0Cj_UJ\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:540px; min-width:326px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);\"><p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>The director captioned the photo with:<strong> &#8220;I took this photo of [Jason Momoa] in Iceland.&#8221;\u00a0<\/strong>Justice League was <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/article\/2016\/02\/21\/justice-league-starts-april-11\/#:~:text=Justice%20League%20will,planned%20for%202018).\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">partially\u00a0filmed<\/a><\/strong> in Iceland, so it&#8217;s safe to say the picture is\u00a0from when the superhero team-up was in production.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When it was first announced, Momoa&#8217;s casting as the character\u00a0caught some fans by surprise. At the time, the actor was known for his role as Khal\u00a0Drogo in Game of Thrones, so he was perceived as having a significantly gruffer look than the one Aquaman has\u00a0most commonly been associated with throughout the years. Funnily enough, it was\u00a0his role in Game of Thrones that prompted Zack Snyder to cast Momoa as the hero.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to the L.A. Times\u00a0(via <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbr.com\/how-zack-snyder-chose-jason-momoa-aquaman\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CBR<\/a><\/strong>), Zack Snyder&#8217;s longtime producing partner,\u00a0Deborah Snyder, revealed that the Man of Steel director\u00a0got the inspiration to cast Momoa as Aquaman while watching the HBO series:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;We&#8217;re big Game of Thrones\u00a0fans&#8230; I remember\u00a0Jason Momoa.

And he feels like he comes from the water.'&#8221;\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For his part, Momoa credits the role of Aquaman with saving his career. During a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/comicbookmovie.com\/justice-league\/aquaman-star-jason-momoa-says-zack-snyder-saved-his-career--he-couldnt-land-roles-after-game-of-thrones-a157294\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2018 appearance<\/a><\/strong> on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the actor revealed that he struggled to find work following his stint on Game of Thrones, given that many people assumed he did not speak English:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<strong>That whole audition process was pretty crazy. I mean, Zack [Snyder] was a huge fan of Game of Thrones.\u00a0 A lot of people are huge fans of Game of Thrones.\u00a0 And Zack was the one that&#8230;\u00a0 I couldn&#8217;t get a job, and Zack\u00a0called me in, and he was a huge fan, and he wanted to take Aquaman, who&#8230;\u00a0It was funny, because I had no idea what\u00a0I was gonna\u00a0be playing.
