Before people began discussing Momoa as the lead contender, many fans believed that Charlie Hunnam would be officially cast in the role of Aquaman. The actor infamously pulled out of the upcoming book adaptation Fifty Shades of Grey due to scheduling issues, but now that the last season of Hunnam’s TV show, Sons of Anarchy is airing, he’s finally free to tackle a time consuming role like Aquaman.

The one key issue an Aquaman franchise will inevitably face from the casual moviegoer is a lack of respect. As the lead protagonist on Sons of Anarchy, Hunnam proved in the role of Jax Teller that he can play a layered anti-hero who demands to be taken seriously. If anyone can convince audiences of Aquaman’s potential, it’s him.

The physical demands of the role shouldn’t be too much of a stretch for Hunnam, either, as anyone who has seen him on Sons of Anarchy could attest. His performance in Pacific Rim also shows that Hunnam is a capable leading man and it doesn’t hurt that he resembles Aquaman more than any other actor on this list. After one look at this guy in the role, audiences will quickly realize that there is far more to Aquaman than just a guy dressed in orange who swims and talks to fish.

Why he deserves to play Aquaman more than Jason Momoa: Hunnam has both the experience and the look to be the perfect Aquaman.
