James Gunn recently confirmed what everyone assumed about how long Jason Momoa was being considered to play Lobo in the DCU. In December 2024, Momoa was announced as the intergalactic bounty hunter Lobo for the DCU in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. On the surface, this should have been shocking news, as Momoa had already played a prominent DC hero, Arthur Curry / Aquaman, in various DCEU titles. Yet, even before Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom hit theaters and ended the DCEU, many fans were expecting Momoa to return, just not as the king of the seven seas, but as the main man himself.
