'I get to be the bad guy finally'

When talking about his new character as the bad guy, Momoa was thrilled to play the villain, talking to Variety, he said, "Time of my life. I get to be the bad guy finally. I’ve been the good guy for a while. He’s very sadistic and androgynous and he’s a bit of a peacock . . . He’s got a lot of issues, this guy. He’s definitely got some daddy issues." But the new bad guy character didn't faze many fans, some were just taking the information as is, while some thought gave references to his well-known character 'Aquaman'. 

'He looks cool as villain'
