Who Is Lobo? Jason Momoa"s Rumored DCU Recasting Explained (Powers & Origin)

:0:0

Summary

Rumors are circulating that Jason Momoa may be recast as Lobo in the DC Universe after his tenure as Aquaman ends.
If Momoa is cast as Lobo, it is speculated that he may make his first appearance in the upcoming film "Superman: Legacy," which already has a packed cast of DC characters.
Lobo is a popular character known for his dark humor, intimidating persona, and formidable powers, making him a potentially perfect fit for director James Gunn's darker and humor-infused DCU.

With James Gunn's DCU apparently looking to recast much of the DCEU's main players, rumors have begun to swirl around Jason Momoa's recasting as Lobo, whose origin and powers have yet to be explored on the silver screen. Jason Momoa is set to reprise his role as the DCEU's Aquaman one last time on December 20, 2023. For the sake of its legacy (and the studio's pocket), studio heads are no doubt hoping that Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom will replicate the success of its predecessor, ending the DCEU with a bang before the DCU starts up in earnest.
As for how the DCU is shaping up, much of the casting for Superman: Legacy, the DCU's debut movie, has already been revealed. Among those chosen to herald a new age of DC in cinema is Cavill's replacement, David Corenswet, as well as known Gunn collaborator Nathan Fillion. Jason Momoa's role, however, has yet to be revealed - though recent drama has dredged up rumors that he is already in talks to play one of DC's most iconic villains/antiheroes, Lobo. Lobo is a firm favorite for many reasons, and if the rumors are true, Jason Momoa's DCU recasting as the intergalactic bounty hunter would be the perfect fit, provided the source of the rumors is correct.

Recent reports have painted a pretty tumultuous picture behind the scenes of Aquaman and the Last Kingdom. Thanks to the extremely public legal battles between one of Aquaman and the Last Kingdom's most prominent stars, Amber Heard, and her ex-husband Johnny Depp, netizens have taken it upon themselves to recirculate the details and cause a stir in the lead-up to the movie's release. Amid the chaos, sources have allegedly divulged that Momoa has been in talks with studio heads to play Lobo once his tenure as Aquaman comes to an end.
If such rumors are to be believed, then it is also alleged that Momoa could embody the role of Lobo as early as Superman: Legacy. Confirmed casting has suggested that the first DCU outing is already full to the brim with other DC characters such as Hawkgirl, Mr. Terrific, Metamorpho, and Guy Gardner, with more supposedly in the pipeline. This means that an additional character in Lobo could put the movie at risk of bloating. But Lobo's proximity to both Superman and Guy Gardner in the comics helps lend credence to this particular suggestion.
