Although Aquaman has a reputation for being one of the lamest heroes around, fans who read the comics will know that he's actually a total badass.

But now Jason Momoa has warned that those same comic book readers aren't going to like the character very much in the upcoming Justice League movie.

Speaking to SFX Magazine, the former Game of Thrones actor said: "Aquaman, he's not even really Aquaman yet. He's not the King of the Seven Seas.

"It may be tough for a lot of fans to watch what they're gonna see, how I portray him. But you gotta wait until we get to the solo movie to really know.

"Really, it's a huge growth for me. It's a gigantic arc for Arthur Curry."

Expanding further on his character's arc, Momoa said: "He doesn't believe in himself, he doesn't know what to do with the powers he has.

"He's going through tons of loss. He hates Atlanteans.

"The fact that people are calling him 'Aquaman' right now – he couldn't give two shits about anything Atlantean. So he's really not quite there yet."

So basically, he's Simba during the middle bit of The Lion King, minus the whole 'it means no worries, for the rest of your days' thing.

Warner Bros dubbed last week as 'Aquaman week' in order to drum up a bit of popularity for the character.

Justice League will be released on November 17, while Aquaman will hit screens on December 21, 2018.
