For more than a year there have been rumors that Jason Momoa will play Lobo in the DC Universe (DCU), and although this remains unconfirmed.
If it is officially formed, there are several clues that point in that direction. The most recent being the statement from a DC actress and wife of Peter Safran, co-president of DC Studios with James Gunn.
Jason Momoa left an imposing mark on the DC Extended Universe (DCEU).
His debut in the role of Arthur Curry, also known as Aquaman, came in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016), although their presence was brief.
The Hawaiian actor achieved complete prominence with his notable participation in Justice League (2017), where his charismatic and physical portrayal of the King of Atlantis established him as a key member of the superhero team.
The climax of Momoa’s career in the DCEU came with Aquaman (2018), a solo film that thoroughly explored his character’s background and challenges.
The film, directed by James Wan, was not only a box office success, but also received praise for Momoa’s performance and for revitalizing Aquaman’s image for modern audiences.
Momoa has continued to play Aquaman in other DCEU installments, including a guest appearance in Zack Snyder’s Justice League (2021), the director’s cut that further highlights Snyder’s original vision for the DC cinematic universe.
His last participation in this failed franchise was in Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom, a film that has not received very positive reviews and has not succeeded at the box office either.
Will Jason Momoa give life to Lobo?
Natalia Safran, who has had minor roles in Shazam!, The Suicide Squad, Peacemaker, and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, among others. She posted a photo on Instagram with her husband Peter Safran and Jason Momoa.
A fan account called mr.marvelous.media commented “Bring on Lobo,” and she responded “you know it.”
Although it’s far from official confirmation, there’s no denying that she could have inside information, given that her husband Peter Safran is aware of the plans for the DCU.
On the other hand, we cannot ignore that Momoa has declared her interest in giving life to the character.
Who is Wolf?
Lobo is a fictional DC Comics character who debuted in Omega Men #3 in 1983. Created by writer Roger Slifer and artist Keith Giffen, Lobo is an intergalactic anti-hero and mercenary known for his brutality, dark humor, and love of crime violence.
Originally from the planet Czarnia, Lobo is the last of his kind after wiping out the rest of the population as a birthday gift to himself.
Physically imposing and virtually immortal, Lobo possesses superhuman strength, formidable stamina, and regenerative abilities.
His distinctive appearance includes a muscular build, white skin, black hair, and a space motorcycle named “Spacehog.”
Over the years, Lobo has been featured in various DC comic series, often as an antagonistic or anti-hero character. His popularity has led to his inclusion on teams such as the Justice League and starring in his own limited series and specials.
Lobo has also appeared in multimedia adaptations, including cartoons, video games, and is considered one of the most iconic and peculiar characters in the DC Comics universe.
