Jason Momoa Reportedly Cast as Lobo in James Gunn’s DC Universe

After lots of rumors and speculation, it sounds like Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom star Jason Momoa is locked in to play the DC character Lobo.

As part of yesterday’s episode of The Hot Mic podcast, industry insider Jeff Sneider revealed that Momoa has been cast as Lobo and that an official announcement about the casting will be made near the start of 2024.

“It is true — Jason Momoa is Lobo. Done,” Sneider confirmed. “Jason Momoa has been cast as Lobo, and that will be officially announced most likely … I would say around February. It has nothing to do with the strike — it has to do with Aquaman. So Aquaman’s got to do theaters, and then it’ll be on Max … after it’s on Max and has played for a week or two on Max or whatever, I think in February — maybe March at the latest — you’re going to get an announcement about Momoa as Lobo — especially if he’s part of the Superman cast.”

When was Jason Momoa first rumored to play Lobo in the DC Universe?

As far back as last December, Momoa was rumored to be assuming the role of DC’s wild interstellar bounty hunter. As the DC Universe is rebooted after this year’s film The Flash, it’s suggested that Momoa would no longer be playing Arthur Curry/Aquaman and would instead switch over to the role of Lobo.
