In April, Momoa revealed he had a “big hand” in the Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom script.

“‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’ is amazing. I got to see a little bit of it. Not that much of it. It’s amazing. The action and special effects are amazing. It’s funny. It’s heartfelt,” Momoa said while introducing he movie’s director James Wan at CinemaCon. “I had a big hand in the script with James – it’s pretty much all me and I love it. I’m extremely proud of it. Unfortunately, you have to wait until 2023, but you know it’ll be the best movie of the year.”

Wan revealed that the cast were put through less “physical pain” than the first film, because new technology has been developed to reduce the amount of wirework required.

“On the first movie, we really put the actors through a lot of physical pain, you know hanging them on wires and what we call tuning forks. It was not the most comfortable apparatus to be strapped into,” Wan revealed. “With this film we were able to now embrace new technology where we literally captured … literally putting like 100 cameras on the actors, capturing their performances and then taking what they do and then applying that to 3D versions of themselves.”
