Based on the image, it can be confirmed that the image posted by Jason Momoa is the exact replica of Aquaman's famous trident which he also sported in the 2018 film. With Momoa posting the image of the trident on Instagram, fans have speculated that his version of Aquaman, with tattoos and long brown hair, will be featuring in the game, as opposed to the traditional comic book version of the character. As of now, it is being rumoured that Aquaman will be available as a skin, but there has been no official confirmation about the same by Epic Games. But as of now, it can be safely assumed that the Aquaman skin will be included in the Season 3 Battle Pass, following a similar route to the Deadpool model.
