Jason Momoa"s Recasting Will Finally Give DC Its Version Of Wolverine

:0:0

Summary

Jason Momoa could potentially play Lobo, the DCU's version of Wolverine, in the upcoming DC Universe reboot.
Momoa's resemblance to Lobo, past work, and love for the character makes him the perfect choice for the role.
It's great news that Momoa will continue to be part of the DCU, especially as other members of the Justice League are being recast or have uncertain futures.

Jason Momoa's potential recast could finally give the DCU its very own Wolverine. Despite his current role as the DCEU's Aquaman, Momoa has been a popular fan cast for DC Comics' Lobo for years, an intergalactic bounty hunter who is quite literally the embodiment of the gritty 90s and its hyper-violence. Now, a new DC Universe reboot is in the works from James Gunn and Peter Safran which may include Momoa in this completely different role.
Seeing Jason Momoa play "The Main Man" would be a dream come true for many fans (as well as for Momoa himself). To that end, it's recently been reported that talks between Momoa and DC Studios have indeed happened regarding the actor's future in the DCU, one that may very well leave Aquaman in the rearview. Here's how Momoa can become the DCU's Wolverine and why he'd be so perfect for the role.

Although he was created in 1983, Lobo did not reach his full potential until the 1990s when he was turned into a parody of the hyper-violent and gritty trends that had overtaken the comic book genre. However, Lobo was embraced by fans who loved how over-the-top he was, launching "The Main Man" into even greater prominence in the DC Universe than was ever intended. Originally, Lobo's creators Roger Slifer and Keith Giffen simply wanted to make a satirical character based on anti-hero archetype characters of the era, most notably Marvel's Punisher and Wolverine.
As such, Jason Momoa portraying a live-action Lobo could certainly give the upcoming DCU its own Wolverine. Although Lobo leans more chaotic than he does heroic as Wolverine does, the two characters are quite similar in that their stories are far more violent and intense than their fellow characters. Likewise, both of them are practically invincible which means their violence is even more extreme. Not unlike Wolverine himself, Lobo also has an impressive healing factor where he's been able to come back from nothing more than a few drops of blood in the comics.
