Super hero movies — they’re kind of a thing these days.
While titles like Spiderman, Batman and X-Men have dominated the box office in recent years, the major film studios have already mapped out a steady stream of other, lesser-loved features to be released through the year 2020. And we can barely figure out what we’re doing this weekend — good planning, studios.
Which brings us to Aquaman, the favorite hero of, well, nobody really.
But that doesn’t mean the gilled crusader can’t have his own super-sexy franchise. Just the opposite, in fact.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Aquaman, set to be played by Jason Momoa, will first appear in Justice League: Part 1, due out in 2017, and then in the first Aquaman film set for a 2018 release.
Momoa has been treating his new job seriously, too.
He recently uploaded these fairly absurd workout vids to show how he’s preparing for the part:
Um — damn, Aquaman.

After Batman vs Superman I will not be the first in line to see another DC comic movie. Wonder Woman was the only interesting character in that dude of a movie that made me feel my money wasn’t totally wasted. Aquaman, in order to be effective, will have to be filmed underwater. Lets hope they have the good sense to add Aqualad into the movie. Aquaman in the comic book not only had blonde hair but also had NO beard.

Aquaman is one of my favs ð??§ð??

yep, for sure!

I don’t like bulky muscled men. I like muscle definition but on lean men, like my 23 yo boyfriend. He is gorgeous and much more attractive than Aquaman.

I don’t know biology and physiology like I used to, but I suspect that someone living under the sea would not have that type of musculature.

Sexy man! Superhero movies are stupid though- what are we all 10 years old

@Bob LaBlah: — You must love to complain. The reviews on “S vs B” were brutal. Maybe you should pay attention and not judge every film genre by a flop.

@Billy Budd:
“I don’t like bulky muscled men.”
Fine, just leaves more for me.

I thought Vince Chase was going to play Aquaman?

@robho3: You mean to say you wouldn’t pay to see “Superman Meets the Lone Ranger in the Valley of the Brontosaurai”? (I know it’s actually “brontosauruses,” but that doesn’t have the right ring to it.
Bob LaBlah
@SteveDenver: Dear, I form my own opinion. The reviewers have their idea of a good movie, I have mine. Yes, it did get bad reviews but as I said, Wonder Woman made it a little less brutal. As for personal observations I don’t think you thought about what you were saying before you hit Post Comment.
DC Comics always did appear on the “dark side” in print. I don’t think you are old enough to remember when comic books were the thing for young boys but there are many of us out there who remember DC Comic characters all too well and know how difficult they are to bring to life to be believable. The first two Batman runs were great (Michael Keaton, Christian Bale) but once they change the stars (that silly ass, narcissistic looking Val Kilmer and the hopeless bore George Clooney) that was when the series fell apart.
How’s that complaint? Does it meet your standards?

If I didn’t absolutely LOVE Lisa Bonet, I’d be evil. I love them both and their story even more. Cheers to both!

Don’t care he’s a douche.

@Antony Nguyen: Why did you post the exact same thing 10! times?

@Laurence James: Why do you post the exact same thing so many times???!

Oh, my dahlink Drogo! I also enjoyed Mamoa in The Red Road. He is delicious.

Strangely, Aquaman has a seafood allergy – one shrimp and bam, he’s floating belly up in the water.

What’s up with the Facebook posts? One reply turns into 20! Does Queerty have a software version of Zika it doesn’t know about?

@Kangol: Very strange indeed. Duplicate posts are one of the things that I find most annoying about this website. (In addition to some of the irrelevant articles, especially on days when more important and interesting gay news is reported in mainstream media)

Gotta Aquaman bun.
