The members of the Justice League have successfully battled a whole franchises worth of world-destroying supervillains, but theyve yet to overcome one simple challenge: actors who want to move on.

In September, The Hollywood Reporter broke the news that Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck are likely out as Superman and Batman, respectively, in the DC movie universe. Cavill responded to the report by posting a cryptic Instagram video of himself with a Superman toy set to a recording of the Blue Danube Waltz barked by dogs.

In an interview with HuffPost, Jason Momoa was willing to be more direct.

If theyre both out, then listen: Its just the place theyre at in their careers. I mean, how many has Henry done? Hes done three? Momoa said. Yeah, I mean, like, you want to move on. I think if I did... shit, I have done three.

This year marks Momoas big turn as the star of a stand-alone DC movie. Aquaman , in theaters Dec. 21, doesnt feature a cameo from any previous DC Justice League member, but it does include a direct reference to the shenanigans that went down in 2017s Justice League and therefore assuredly takes place in the same (so far unrebooted) universe.

Momoa is contracted for at least one more movie in that universe, he explained, but understands why his former co-stars might not be returning with him.

I mean, Henry wants to just expand on something, he said. Ben is an amazing director that is of age, and probably hes done enough. I dont know how to speak on behalf of them, but I had the time of my life [on Justice League].

Momoas sentimentality didnt end there. Throughout our conversation, he dished out endless love for his co-stars and director Zack Snyder, effectively convincing me that his time working on Justice League was indeed phenomenal. Heres what he said:
