DC still has big plans for its cinematic universe, and the next character to get his own film is Aquaman. Already, it's looks like the most exciting thing to come out of the DCEU since "Wonder Woman."

Star Jason Momoa told ​The Daily Telegraph how thrilled he is to be playing a character of mixed heritage, like he is. Though, Aquaman's heritage is a little more mixed than most people's.





" I love the fact that he is half and half," Momoa said, referring to Aquaman being half-human, half-Atlantean.





Momoa himself is of German, Irish and American Indian descent. " I grew up with stuff that I can really relate to being born in Hawaii and raised in Iowa with a mother and being an outcast in the middle of America and coming from this Atlantis-Hawaii and not really feeling accepted in either place."

Momoa says he hopes kids can watch the upcoming superhero movie and see themselves in a character who feels like an outsider. He hopes the movie can help them come to terms with themselves.
