Ahab was also the name of the seventh king of Israel. It is possible that "Aquaman" will delve into either "The Whale" or into biblical history in its story timeline.

Meanwhile, Momoa will be seen as Aquaman first in the "Justice League" film that will premiere on Nov. 17 next year. He shared in an interview, confirmed by Comic Book, how he relates with Arthur Curry, also known as Aquaman.

"How I identify with that is kind of being...a bit of an outcast. You see, he wasn't really too accepted...I wasn't too accepted," Momoa shared.

Momoa explained that he grew up in a small town in Iowa where there weren't a lot of people from different cultures. "I was born in Hawaii, so I would go see my father...[I] just wasn't accepted on the local side by some people because I wasn't raised in Hawaii. I identify as being that outcast and not really fitting into two different worlds," Momoa added.

Based on the comic series, Arthur was the son of a lighthouse keeper and the exiled Queen of Atlantis. Arthur was a half-human, half-Atlantean who was torn between two identities which made him struggle in making sense of his identity.

"Aquaman" is expected to debut on July 27, 2018.
