Jason Momoa’s Lobo Casting Imagined In DC Universe Fan Art

New fan art shows what Jason Momoa could look like as the new character that he is reportedly being eyed to play in the DC Universe. A fresh DC era is on its way as James Gunn and Peter Safran are working on building their new DC Universe with multiple movies and TV shows being developed. But before they can get there, the DCEU has to be wrapped up, which will come to fruition in December with Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.

While Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom will finish the DCEU timeline, Momoa may not be done with his DC adventures. Following new reports that Momoa is being eyed to play Lobo in Gunn’s DC Universe, Bosslogic shared new artwork of the DCEU star as the iconic bounty hunter.

DC Studios have not confirmed nor denied Momoa’s potential casting as Lobo, which may not be announced until after Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom‘s release. All that has been shared to this point is Momoa hyping up that he has a mystery DC project in the works with Gunn and Safran. The speculation about Momoa playing Lobo was fueled when he cryptically said in an interview, “Well, everyone knows I’m a comic book fan. The comic I collected the most, and I have every comic there is… you can do your research and find out what it is.”

Why Jason Momoa Would Be A Perfect DC Universe Lobo Casting

For years, Lobo has always been someone that the DC audience has suggested he should play, especially as he is already a fan of the character. If Momoa were to be cast as Lobo in the DC Universe, he would be the first actor to ever play the character on the big screen, following Emmett J. Scanlan’s portrayal in Krypton season 2 on SYFY. Beyond his performance as Aquaman, Momoa’s other body of work is a constant reminder that he is not only great with the action, but he can get into the comedic aspects, too.

While Lobo is a dangerous bounty hunter in the comics, he is also known for being a hyped-up loudmouth, which Momoa has demonstrated in various interviews. Outside of his acting abilities, it can’t be denied that Momoa is a spitting image of Lobo in real life. From his massive build to the long hair, Momoa would only need to have the Lobo make-up and costume to complete the entire look.

Time will tell if Momoa is indeed playing Lobo and, if so, if it will be in his own solo movie or TV show unless he appears in a different DC Universe project first. With Lobo being one of DC’s more obscure characters, it will be interesting to see how he fits into Gunn and Safran’s Chapter 1, “Gods and Monsters.” Hopefully, the mystery about Momoa’s DC Universe role will be addressed soon enough.
