'Aquaman' stars Amber Heard, Dolph Lundgren, Patrick Wilson, Temuera Morrison and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II are expected to return for the sequel, which will also feature Pilou Asbæk in a role yet to be confirmed.
Affleck first played the superhero in 2016 film 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice', before reprising the role in 'Suicide Squad' in the same year.
He has also starred as the Dark Knight in 2017's 'Justice League' and in 'Zack Snyder's Justice League', the director's cut of the motion picture.
In April, Momoa revealed he had a "big hand" in the 'Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom' script.
Introducing the movie's director James Wan at CinemaCon, he said: "'Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom' is amazing. I got to see a little bit of it. Not that much of it. It's amazing. The action and special effects are amazing. It's funny. It's heartfelt.
"I had a big hand in the script with James - it's pretty much all me and I love it. I'm extremely proud of it. Unfortunately, you have to wait until 2023, but you know it'll be the best movie of the year."
