Jason Momoa takes on Lobo in the DC Universe

Jason Momoa shifts from Aquaman to Lobo as new art showcases his perfect fit for the iconic character.

Jason Momoa Transitions From Aquaman To Lobo In New DC Universe

Jason Momoa has been cast as Lobo in the new DC Universe, leaving his role as Aquaman behind. Despite his success in the two Aquaman films, he will not reprise his role in James Gunn's restructured franchise. Instead, Momoa will portray Lobo in the upcoming Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, a dream role he has long desired. Recent fan art shared on social media depicts Momoa’s Lobo, showing him in a comics-accurate outfit. Production for the film is set to begin on January 13, with hopes that more images of Momoa as Lobo will be released soon.

This change reflects a strategic shift by DC Studios under James Gunn, who plans to explore a wider range of characters in R-rated contexts. Momoa's shift from Aquaman to Lobo might allow the studio to create a more traditional portrayal of Aquaman, while Lobo suits Momoa's more rugged persona. It raises anticipation for what this could mean for Lobo's future in the DC Universe, especially regarding multi-appearance potential and darker storylines.
