Two writers in competition to bring Aquaman to the big screen?

 

There’s been speculation and reports Jason Mamoa (Games of Thrones, Conan) will play the DC icon in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and then possibly Justice League.

 

Director Zack Snyder defended the relevance of the hero in a call in to a Detroit radio station.

 

Now Warner Brothers has tapped Kurt Johnstad (300: Rise of An Empire) and Will Beall (Gangster Squad) to write scripts for Aquaman according to Variety.  The story goes on to clarify the writers are not co-writing but working on two separate scripts.

 

An Aquaman film is not slated but Warner and announced several dates from 2016 to 2020 which would include more team and solo films starring heroes of the DC Universe.
