In the DC Extended Universe film "Aquaman," Justin Hartley does not portray the titular character, Arthur Curry, also known as Aquaman. The role of Arthur Curry is played by Jason Momoa. However, Justin Hartley has been involved in the portrayal of Aquaman in a different medium; he voiced the character in the animated series "Justice League Unlimited." Hartley's voice work brought a sense of strength and nobility to the character, capturing Aquaman's regal bearing as the King of Atlantis and his complex relationship with his royal heritage. His performance contributed to a deeper understanding of Aquaman's character, emphasizing his leadership qualities and the internal struggle he faces balancing his Atlantean responsibilities with his connection to the surface world. While Hartley's voice acting has been praised for adding depth to the character in animation, it is Jason Momoa's live-action portrayal that anchors the "Aquaman" film, where Momoa brings a charismatic and rugged interpretation to the iconic superhero, showcasing both his physical prowess and a more lighthearted, rebellious side that resonated with audiences worldwide.
