Jason Momoa Reveals 'That's a Wrap' on Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom in Hawaii When speaking to Men's Health in November 2020 about his fit frame, Momoa simply credited "genetics." "Hawaiians are big people," he told the magazine at the time. "I rock climb a lot. Maybe I'm an ape. I love the way it feels. I like being upside down. I always loved climbing trees as a kid and swinging in the breeze. But lifting weights is challenging." In mid-November, an Instagram account for the Aquaman sequel shared a stunning shot of a beach to report that director James Wan moved the production from the United Kingdom to Hawaii, where they filmed at Oahu's Hālona Beach Cove. Momoa recently revealed that the highly anticipated DC sequel wrapped filming last week.
