Actor Jason Momoa has revealed he is a big metal fan and said the genre inspired him to build the character Aquaman.
He said:
“Aquaman is very Metal, I know that nobody thinks about it, but it’s Metal.” I kind of build my characters using songs of the genre. “Conan (The Barbarian) was [a very heavy Pantera, I say Aquaman is made from Tool and Metallica’s ‘Kill ‘Em All’, ‘Ticks And Leeches’ from Tool, if I’m more specific, there’s also a lot of Black Sabbath there.”
