Jason Momoa filmed the entire scene.

Justice League director Zack Snyder has revealed how he shot Aquaman's underwater scene.

Last week Synder shared a short clip of Jason Momoa's Aquaman swimming underwater. It turns out, thanks to a behind-the-scenes photo courtesy of Batman-News, it was actually Momoa filming the scene. The director confirmed he did not use a body double nor any sort of CG to help capture Aquaman interacting and swimming underwater. Check out the photo below, which shows Momoa filming the scene behind a green screen.

“People were wondering whether he was CG or not,” Snyder said on social media app Vero. “He’s not… hair and environment CG, otherwise all Jason.”

Aquaman will be teaming up with the rest of the Justice League when the film hits theaters November 17, 2017. Momoa's solo Aquaman film, directed by James Wan, will be released almost a year later on October 5, 2018.
