Going by the name Dante, Momoa's newcomer happens to be the billion-dollar franchise's latest antagonist.

Previously teasing his character, the Aquaman actor told GQ: "It's been hard because people always think I'm just this dude who plays [macho characters]. But I want to be moved, I want something new.

"Things are changing, and even the villain roles I'm playing now are eccentric."

He went on to reveal that Dante colours his toenails pink, cruises a lavender vehicle and laughs like a maniac.

"I'm a peacock at the highest level and I'm having the time of my life."
