Ever since he took over as the new co-CEO of DC Studios, James Gunn has been teasing several upcoming projects. One of these also includes a possible show or movie based on the DC character, Lobo, which is expected to feature Jason Momoa in the lead. The DC star, who is popularly known for portraying Aquaman, is once again set to reprise his role in the sequel to the 2018 film, which will release this year. But even after this, fans are expecting to see him as Lobo.
However, as he currently portrays Arthur Curry in the DCEU, it seemed unlikely to happen. But as Gunn and Safran discarded several DCEU characters, things became quite uncertain for the future of the DCU. And now theSweet Girlstar has also hinted that he could be more than Aquaman in the DC universe.
