Aquaman - Liam Hemsworth

With Jason Momoa likely shifting gears to play Lobo, we need a new king of Atlantis—enter Liam Hemsworth. And why not? The guy’s already stepping in to replace Henry Cavill in The Witcher, so it seems like filling some big shoes is becoming a bit of a theme for the youngest Hemsworth. He’s got the charisma, the grit, and let’s face it, those classic Aquaman looks that are actually pretty close to the comic books—blonde hair and all.

Jason Momoa made Aquaman cool with his surfer-bro vibes, but Liam could bring something different to Arthur Curry. Imagine a more regal yet down-to-earth Aquaman—one who’s constantly torn between his duty to Atlantis and his ties to the surface world. That’s a balance that would be fun to see explored, and Hemsworth has what it takes to show that inner struggle. He’s got the chops for playing conflicted heroes, and after watching him in action-packed roles like The Hunger Games, you can definitely picture him as a fierce underwater warrior, trident in hand, ready to defend his kingdom.

Hemsworth's Aquaman could be a blend of fierce protector and relatable hero—someone who feels the weight of two worlds but still manages to lead with both strength and heart. Plus, with that Hemsworth charm, who wouldn't want to root for him?
