Aquaman will visit land just long enough to host Saturday Night Live in December. Actor Jason Momoa was announced Monday as one of the show's forthcoming hosts, along with Claire Foy and Matt Damon.

This is the first time hosting for both Foy and Momoa, and Damon's first hosting gig since 2002 (though he did appear earlier this season as Brett Kavanaugh). The first-time hosts have a lot in common, including fall movies (First Man, Aquaman) and popular TV shows (The Queen, Game of Thrones).

Anderson .Paak will also play SNL for the first time, while Mumford & Sons will return for a third appearance on the heels of a new album. Veteran guest Miley Cyrus will team up with Mark Ronson this time around.

SNL returns Dec. 1
