The Very Weird Aquaman TV Show You Never Saw

When modern audiences think of Aquaman, they immediately picture Jason Momoa’s larger-than-life portrayal in the DCEU. But long before Momoa took the throne as Arthur Curry, there was another Aquaman in Hollywood—Alan Ritchson, best known today for his role in Reacher. During the height of Smallville’s success, there were serious talks about launching an Aquaman spin-off series starring Ritchson, who had already portrayed the character on Smallville. Despite multiple attempts to bring the project to life, the standalone Aquaman TV show never got off the ground.
