Premiere Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom It was very weak, and this does not surprise anyone. James Wan’s new film grossed less than $40 million in its opening weekend in the United States. Internationally, the box office was a little more respectable at $80 million, but even so, interest in the offering was nil. And rumors about the future Jason Momoa It didn’t take long for them to arrive in Washington.
Fans of the actor believe that now that the new Aquaman film seems destined to end a year of cinematic failures for DC, there are signs that he could take the reins of a new role. We are talking specifically about Wolfmercenary bounty hunter from the planet Charnia.
What reason is there to believe that Jason Momoa could play Lobo in future DC films? So far, everything is based on assumptions and some hints that began to appear on social networks. Each will give these issues the urgency they see fit, but a couple of specific recommendations have not gone unnoticed.
First of all, Natalya Safran She posted a photo on Instagram showing her with Jason Momoa and Peter Safran, her husband and co-CEO of DC Studios along with James Gunn. One comment on the post reads, “Bring Lobo,” to which Safran solemnly replies, “You know that.” This isn’t a confirmation or anything like that. However, the look on his face has already sent fans into a frenzy.
Added to this recent like What James Gunn gave fan art Jason Momoa as Wolf. We return to the same point as before, we cannot assume that this is necessary for Casting Hawaiian actor who will take on the role in the future. However, it is still an interesting fact.
Jason Momoa swapping Aquaman for Lobo?
This isn’t the first time rumors have linked Jason Momoa to the role of Lobo. In fact, the artist himself admitted that when Zack Snyder invited him to join Snyderversehe thought he would be auditioning for this role, not Aquaman.
Momoa’s physical resemblance to the comic book character raises expectations not only among the audience, but also among the actor himself. In a recent interview with Fandango, He admitted to being a fan of the bounty hunter and he made it clear that he was willing to interpret it if asked. Although he also tried to soften the situation in order to avoid false illusions.
“If they call me and ask me to do this, [mi respuesta] will be: “Fuck, yes…”. I haven’t gotten a call so I don’t want to create fake news, but if I ever get a call to play or audition, I’ll be there,” Jason Momoa said.
It remains to be seen whether James Gunn and Peter Safran’s plans for the new DC Extended Universe actually include Jason Momoa as Lobo. Disappointing debut Aquaman 2 seems to have put the final nail in the coffin of this sub-franchise and the cast associated with it. Of course, if you ever decide to give this peculiar character a chance, chances are… won’t happen in the near future.
James Gunn’s New DCEU
James Gunn’s DCEU reboot project already has several productions confirmed, both live action as animated, and Wolf is not mentioned in any of them. At least for now, of course.
In addition to Superman: Legacythey announced Brave and Bold, the new Batman film directed by Andy Muschietti, as well as the upcoming Supergirl and Swamp Thing films. There are also plans for series based on Amanda Waller, Green Lantern, Booster Gold and the Amazons.
In parallel, DC Studios is supporting at least two other films as a legacy of the previous cinematic universe.. One of them is a continuation Batmanwith Robert Pattinson, and the other Joker Foley togetherwith Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga. So those who want to see Jason Momoa as Lobo will probably have to wait a few years.
In any case, if the budding rumors are confirmed, Peter Safran’s recent words in favor of the Hawaiian actor will take on even more value. “Jason will always have a home in Washington,” he noted. Finally, it’s worth saying that a Lobo movie has been in the works at Warner Bros. for several years now. Then he was associated with Guy Ritchie as director, and later the same thing happened with Michael Bay. However, its development was never formally advanced.
