Zack Snyder Brings Jason Momoa’s Aquaman Back As Justice League Anniversary Nears

Zack Snyder is still celebrating the anniversary of his Justice League film on Instagram, and he’s once again highlighting Jason Momoa’s Aquaman.

Just yesterday, Snyder announced that they’ll be celebrating the five-year anniversary of Zack Snyder’s Justice League in eight days.

He then shared a brief dialogue from the movie featuring Bruce Wayne and Diana Prince: Diana asks, “You said the age of heroes would never return.” Bruce replies, “It will. It has to.”

Snyder then added, “Five years later… and the age of heroes still feels very real.”

Zack Snyder posts new Aquaman image

Zack Snyder has released a new photo from his Justice League film, a striking black-and-white close-up of Jason Momoa as Aquaman.

Zack Snyder shared a photo he took on his iPhone of Jason Momoa as Aquaman, taken in England while they were preparing for the movie Justice League. He posted it with the caption, “@prideofgypsies as Aquaman in my office in England during prep for Justice League. Shot on my iPhone.”

The article continues to highlight the heroes from Snyder’s time working on DC films, especially Jason Momoa.

This comes after Zack Snyder shared his Justice League poster, jokingly calling it “one of the most self-aware movie posters ever” and suggesting it actually summarized the entire film.

Momoa’s Aquaman still matters to Snyder

What stands out is how often Snyder keeps circling back to Momoa’s Aquaman.

Jason Momoa has already started playing a new character in the DC Universe, as he’s been cast as Lobo under James Gunn. Despite this, Zack Snyder continues to emphasize his version of Aquaman, which is still a fan favorite from his films.

As a fan, it really feels like Zack Snyder is doing more than just marking the fifth anniversary of Zack Snyder’s Justice League. He’s subtly reminding us all of the team he originally envisioned, and it’s clear Aquaman, with Jason Momoa, was a huge part of that plan. It’s like he’s saying, ‘Remember this Justice League?’

The timing is hard to ignore

The timing also jumps out.

As the fifth anniversary of Zack Snyder’s Justice League approaches, Snyder has been sharing content related to the movie’s actors and visuals.

The recent Aquaman post, the quote from Bruce and Diana, and the hidden film reel poster all suggest that Zack Snyder is significantly returning to the central themes and ideas of his DC films.
