Fans have been waiting with bated breaths for the return of Jason Momoa in Aquaman 2 as its titular superhero/god of the seas. The first film, which was written and directed by James Wan, explored Arthur Curry's (Momoa) back story involving his unexplained abandonment on the part of his mother, Atlanta (Played by Nicole Kidman in the film) and his rise to the position of the king of the seas as he wielded the ancient and legendary trident held by the first king of Atlantis. But now, during a conversation with Drew Barrymore on her talk show, titled "The Drew Barrymore Show", it was revealed that the involvement of Jason Momoa in Aquaman 2 goes beyond that of an actor. He, in fact, had also co-written the first draft of the upcoming sequel, which will go on floors coming July.
