Being a superhero is a dream job for many actors as it brings star power and notoriety. But filming action sequences also takes a toll on the body, with injuries being quite common. Aquaman 2's Jason Momoa knows this all too well. He said he was beaten during the filming of the Lost Kingdom sequel.

Jason Momoa already has a ton of experience in action productions, including Game of Thrones and Dune, in addition to his stint in the DCEU. He's diving back into James Wan's underwater franchise with Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. Momoa recently opened up about some injuries, saying:
“I'll screw my eye. I put something in it and it kind of cut it, so I have to have surgery. I have a hernia, I have bruised ribs. I'm taking a beating. It's going to be a great movie, you're going to love it."
While Jason Momoa makes playing Aquaman look easy, it looks like he's actually pretty grueling on set. He claims the work will be worth it when watching Lost Kingdom, although what James Wan has in store for the sequel remains a complete mystery.
Jason Momoa's revelation about on-set injuries comes from his recent appearance on The Ellen Degeneres Show. The actor joked about getting older and the wear and tear that comes with playing Aquaman. Still, it doesn't look like he plans to slow down or hang up the trident any time soon. We'll just have to wait and see what's to come for Arthur Curry in Aquaman and the Lost Empire.
Jason Momoa is far from the first person injured while filming a blockbuster like Aquaman 2. Daniel Craig suffered several injuries during his performance as James Bond. Tom Cruise blew out his knee in Mission: Impossible - Fallout.
Aquaman and Kingdom Lost is due in theaters on December 16, 2022.
