Sometimes there are things like Aquaman, that’s the clown’s job, and Aquaman is not The Trial of the Chicago 7. You have  to overcome yourself,” he said.The actor added that in order to survive as an actor in the industry, he has to take on all kinds of roles. To do so, you’ll have to play this game and smartly give the audience, the director, or yourself that “Wow, I wasn’t expecting that Chekhov or August Wilson thing.” I did so. 

 In the 2018 release of Aquaman, Yahya played a pirate and a mercenary who crossed paths with Jason Momoa’s famous superhero. This movie is the origin of his popular DC villain Black Manta and his story. The Lost Kingdom will be published next year.
