Jason Momoa may take on the role of Lobo in the upcoming DC Universe, as depicted in a stunning fan art. While Momoa is set to star in the final film of the DCEU, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, it seems that he may portray the anti-hero Lobo in future DC movies within the new DCU, moving away from his Aquaman character. Instagram artist @youssef_defenshi offers a visualization of what Momoa could potentially look like in the role of Lobo.
Is Momoa Actually Playing Lobo In The New DC Universe Reboot?
Momoa perfectly embodies the comic book-accurate appearance of Lobo in this DC Universe fan art. With his signature leather jacket adorned with spikes, he effortlessly captures the punk rock aesthetic of the character. Momoa's intense acting style and intimidating physique further enhance his suitability to portray Lobo in the DCU.
Momoa's connection to Lobo has long been established as the actor has expressed keen interest in portraying the DC anti-hero. In a recent development, it has been reported that Momoa is currently in negotiations to take on the role of Lobo in James Gunn's DC Universe. According to the latest information, Momoa would bid farewell to Aquaman in order to embrace the character of Lobo, be it in Gunn's highly anticipated Superman: Legacy or in a standalone film dedicated to DC's beloved "Main Man."
Momoa's departure from the role of Aquaman is not the only significant change occurring as DC transitions from the old DCEU to the new DC Universe. According to reports, the entire Justice League cast will not be reprising their roles in the new DC Universe. While there has been no official statement from Gunn and Safran regarding this news, it aligns with Gunn's decision to cast David Corenswet as Superman instead of Henry Cavill.
If Momoa were to take on a different character, his portrayal of Lobo would be reminiscent of Marvel's Wolverine in the DC Universe. Lobo was originally created as a satirical version of anti-hero comic book characters such as Punisher and Wolverine, sharing Wolverine's affinity for cigars. Momoa's interpretation of Aquaman in the DCEU differs from the traditional, regal depiction of the character in the comics, as he portrays a more violent, impulsive, and sarcastic hero that aligns more closely with Lobo. Therefore, Momoa would be a fitting choice to continue his journey with DC in the role of Lobo.
