The DC Extended Universe (DCEU) officially ends with Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (2023). However, we will soon be introduced to the DC Universe (DCU), the new DC movie universe. The DCU will be fully managed by DC Studios led by James Gunn and Peter Safran.
Since the DCU is a new universe, Gunn and Safran decided to look for different actors to play DC characters in it.
Therefore, most DCEU actors will not return to play their characters in the DCU. This means that Jason Momoa will most likely not return to play Aquaman in the DCU.
