Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, the final installment in the DC Extended Universe, has been unable to meet the expectations at the box office, just like its predecessor. In the meantime, rumors are swirling that Jason Momoa would be leaving Aquaman to play the anti-hero Lobo in James Gunn’s rebooted DCU.
Amidst all these, fans have been sharing their favorites to play the character of Aquaman. And one of them is Reacher star Alan Ritchson, who has already gained some superhero experience.
Fans Want Alan Ritchson to Play Aquaman
As it’s almost certain that Jason Momoa is not coming back as Aquaman, fans are urging Reacher star Alan Ritchson to play the character in DCU.
Alan Ritchson, who already played Arthur Curry in Smallville, has got his fans back as they are very much willing to see him on the big screen now. As Arthur, aka Aquaman, Ritchson made a great impact, and that made his fans believe that he should get a chance to portray this on a bigger scale.
Many fans are suggesting that Ritchson should play the next King of Atlantis. One fan took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share his thoughts. He said:
Alan Ritchson is my pick as the DCU’s Aquaman.

It will be interesting to see whether James Gunn and co bring him to the big screen.
Alan Ritchson Played Arthur Curry aka Aquaman in Smallville
Before making waves as Reacher, Ritchson navigated the waters of Atlantis in Smallville, embodying a younger Arthur Curry with a fervent dedication to marine justice.
Unlike Jason Momoa’s seasoned and rugged portrayal in later years, Ritchson’s Arthur Curry emanates a refreshing vigor. It was about a young superhero discovering his powers, wielding the might of Atlantis.
Alan Ritchson’s role as Aquaman in Smallville introduces us to a superhero in his early years, navigating the challenges of both his powers and environmental responsibilities. The portrayal stands out not only for its unique take on the iconic character but also for its contribution to the broader superhero narrative.
