He also made his debut in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice as Aquaman and will star as Aquaman in the new Justice League movie that is scheduled for release on November 17, 2017. In Justice League, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Aquaman and Cyborg unite to save the world from Steppenwolf and his army of Parademons; Justice League is one of the most highly anticipated movies of the year.

In addition to Justice League, Momoa will star in a standalone Aquaman movie in 2018 and is currently starring in Frontier for Netflix.

“Jason has had some incredible roles in some of the biggest movies and TV series over the last couple of years,” said Dan Farr, Salt Lake Comic Con Founder and Show Producer. “We’re excited that he has chosen to come to FanX and know that he will appeal to a wide range of fan interests from Justice League to Game of Thrones. We’re certain he will be a huge hit with our fans.”
