Smallville's Alan Ritchson has claimed that a movie based on DC's Aquaman could be in the works.

In an interview with CBR, the actor - who plays the king of the seas in the television series - said that a solo film featuring the character is "very much a reality".

"A movie, on the other hand, I think is very much a reality. In fact, I think there's one in the works," he said. "Some people in LA are starting to get the ball rolling on that."

However, the star did not reveal if he has been approached to appear in such a project. "I don't know what my involvement would ever be in that, but, yeah, I think it would be cool to see that happen," he added. "But it's just so expensive to do. It's hard to say if it's really going to happen."

Ritchson made his Smallville debut as Arthur Curry and his aquatic alter ego in 2005, before reprising the role two years later. He also revisits the character in the latest episode of the show.

A pilot episode for a live-action Aquaman television series titled Mercy Reef was made in 2006, but never commissioned.

An official announcement regarding a cinematic outing is yet to be made.
