Entourage famously featured Vincent Chase (Adrien Grenier) starring in a film version of Aquaman, and now the aquatic superhero is finally heading to the big screen for the first time in Batman v Superman. Wahlberg recently commented on this, saying that he was not going to take credit for it.
"Hopefully it's going to be great. I just really knew that the Batman movie was happening and the whole Ben Affleck thing was a controversy at first, because they were going to shoot in Detroit right after we were there doing Transformers," Wahlberg told Collider recently. "I met Zack Snyder a couple times and I like him a lot. And Amy Adams was in the first one, I don't know if she's in the next one. But I don't know anything about it."

Wahlberg said that he didn't know if he was going to see Batman v Superman until he got the word from his boys. He noted that they tend to be very picky lately now that there is such an onslaught of Marvel superhero movies.
Aquaman is set to be played by Game of Thrones actor Jason Momoa. He will only be appearing briefly as a cameo in Batman v Superman, which is set for 2016, though he will be in the solo Aquaman film set for release in 2018.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is scheduled for release in theaters on March 25, 2016.
