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

Zack Snyder is bringing Jason Momoa’s Aquaman back into the spotlight as the Justice League anniversary approaches.

Snyder shared a new black-and-white image of Momoa as Arthur Curry on Instagram, giving fans another behind-the-scenes look at the SnyderVerse version of Aquaman.

The post comes as Snyder has been rolling out new Justice League photos and teases, putting the focus back on his DC cast and the unfinished story fans still want to see continued.

Snyder Shares Jason Momoa As Aquaman

The image shows Momoa during prep for Justice League, long-haired and intense in a close-up shot as Arthur Curry.

“@prideofgypsies as Aquaman in my office in England during prep for Justice League. Shot on my iPhone,” Snyder wrote.

It is a simple post, but with SnyderVerse fans, simple is usually enough. The comments quickly filled with fans calling for Jason Momoa to return as Aquaman and once again pushing the Restore the SnyderVerse campaign.

Fans Want Momoa Back As Aquaman

Momoa’s Aquaman was one of the biggest breakout characters from Snyder’s DC run, eventually leading to James Wan’s Aquaman, which became a massive box office hit for Warner Bros.

For many fans, Snyder’s version of Arthur Curry remains the stronger, rougher take on the character, and the new image immediately brought that conversation back.

Several fans used the post to call for Momoa’s return, while others pointed to the larger SnyderVerse cast and the movies that still have strong support years later.

The reaction shows why Snyder’s DC posts still get attention. They are not just old set photos to a lot of fans. They are reminders of a version of DC that still has a loyal audience.

Justice League Anniversary Teases Continue

Snyder has been sharing more Justice League material as the anniversary of Zack Snyder’s Justice League gets closer.

The Aquaman image fits the pattern, with Snyder spotlighting one of his main DC heroes and giving fans another piece of behind-the-scenes material from the making of the movie.

The timing also matters because SnyderVerse talk has been picking up again, especially as fans continue to compare the old DC lineup with James Gunn and Peter Safran’s new DCU.
