Zack is no longer part of the DCEU, but did he have a storytelling arc all planned out?

He had it all planned out. He had the plan for Justice League. I really do believe that Cyborg and Wonder Woman, and all that has been shaped, is because of Zack. I’m definitely here and owe everything to that man because I wouldn’t have been cast if not for him. I think it was a genius idea to go in this direction with this character, and it’s been an honour. I’ve had people from all over the world — people from Argentina, people from Columbia, Singapore, Malaysia, Mexico, just all over, telling me: “How crazy and cool is this to have a brown-skinned superhero?”

With the introduction of Black Manta in Aquaman, things seem to be lining up for all the villains to join forces as The Legion of Doom in Justice League 2. Would you like to see that?

Absolutely! I loved working with all my castmates on Justice League. But I feel like Flash is probably going to get a solo movie. Flashpoint and Ezra (Miller) need to happen. His character deserves his own movie. Wonder Woman 2 is on the way, so that’s phenomenal. I’m not sure what they’re doing with Batman, and I’ve heard Henry (Cavill) is out as Superman, so I don’t know the shape of Justice League without Superman and Batman. But the Legion of Doom; seeing all the bad guys together and seeing us come in would be awesome. If that s— happens, they better let me in. I’d definitely like to come riding in on a tidal wave to whoop some ass.

Aquaman in this film faces off against Ocean Master and Black Manta. Who would you like to see him go up against in a sequel?

There’s a lot to work with. In the original material, there are some really cool things we can do. I don’t want to get into my likes because I don’t want that posted all over the internet. If I say something might be cool, it becomes: “Jason Momoa says this is what’s happening!” Besides, my opinion means nothing. Warner has it covered. DC’s… got it.

Aquaman opens in theatres Friday.
