The “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” actor suffered a scratched cornea
and other injuries while making the film, but accepts he only has himself to
blame for attempting stunts as an “ageing superhero”,
“I’m
getting old,” Jason Momoa said during an appearance on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres
Show’.
Jason Momoa added: “I messed up my eyes. I just got something
in it that kinda cut it up, and then I’ve gotta get surgery – I have a
hernia, I’ve got ribs out. I’m just getting beat up, I just kinda give it. I
love my job and I get a little too excited. The age thing. I’m an ageing
superhero now.”
The second movie is also supported by Amber
Heard, Patrick Wilson, Dolph Lundgren, and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II alongside
Jason Momoa.
The production kicked off in September this year.
Director
James Wan returns as the helmer. The movie is scheduled for December 2022
release. A behind-the-scenes clip was recently released at DC Fandome
virtual event.
Plot details are still kept under wraps, but
director James Wan previously said the upcoming sequel was “very heavily
inspired by ‘Planet of the Vampires”.
He further added: “You can take the boy out of horror, but you can
never take the horror out of the boy.”
