With the announcement Sunday that Man of Steel 2 director Zack Snyder would return to film Justice League, TheWrap notes that Damon might still be in the running to play Aquaman. The report states that Damon has been rumored to be playing Aquaman for over a year, though it has not even been announced that Aquaman will be in Man of Steel 2.

The report also notes that Jason Momoa is also in the running for the role and that the actor is supposed to appear in the film regardless of role.

However, Momoa has already denied all Aquaman rumors:

"It's just rumors," Momoa told IGN in January. "I want to say something amazing, but I can't comment on rumors. It's flattering . . . I'm not involved in it . . . Maybe someone said, 'You should be in this!' and I said, 'Yeah that would be great!' And it just went too far."

Man of Steel 2 stars Affleck as Batman/Bruce Wayne, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, Diane Lane as Martha Kent and Jeremy Irons as Alfred Pennyworth, the butler of Bruce Wayne. Holly Hunter is also expected to star in the film in a "female Alfred" role.

Man of Steel 2 is scheduled for release in theaters on May 6, 2016.
