I’m Convinced Jason Momoa’s DC Universe Casting Is Even More Perfect For Him Than His Time As The DCEU’s Aquaman
Jason Momoa has officially been cast as the DCU’s Lobo, and I think he’ll be even better than he was as the DCEU’s Aquaman. Jason Momoa’s portrayal of Arthur Curry, aka Aquaman, in the DCEU timeline was captivating. He brought a rugged charm and surfer-dude swagger to a character once mocked as the "fish-talking superhero." Momoa’s Aquaman revitalized the character’s image in pop culture. Now, with the DCU reboot under James Gunn and Peter Safran’s leadership, Momoa is ready to embody another dynamic character who he is absolutely perfect for: Lobo.
With Chapter One: Gods and Monsters, the DCU is establishing many of its key cast and characters. Among these is the interstellar bounty hunter, Lobo, who debuts in the DCU’s Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. Jason Momoa’s enthusiasm for DC is well-documented. While his time as Aquaman has been iconic, Lobo feels like a natural evolution for Momoa, given his larger-than-life charisma and affinity for playing rugged, unconventional heroes. With Gunn’s unique storytelling sensibilities and Momoa’s undeniable presence, this casting could be a vital part of the DCU’s future.
Lobo Has Been Jason Momoa's Dream DC Casting For Years Momoa Has Actively Lobied For The Role For Years Close Long before Momoa donned the trident as Aquaman, he was vocal about his love for Lobo. In interviews, he has often expressed admiration for the character’s rebellious nature and dark humor, describing Lobo as a role he’s always wanted to play. For Momoa, Lobo represents a character who’s not just fun but also embodies a kind of chaotic freedom that resonates deeply with his own personality.
The actor has even shared fan art and teased his interest in portraying the character, fueling speculation that he has been eyeing the role for years. Unlike Aquaman, a character that required a reimagining to fit Momoa’s persona, Lobo feels like a more organic fit - raw, unfiltered, and unapologetically over-the-top. With James Gunn’s vision for the DC Universe emphasizing quirky, character-driven stories, it’s easy to see why Momoa’s passion for Lobo could now come to fruition.

Momoa’s acting career is filled with roles that demonstrate his ability to play fierce, larger-than-life characters. From his breakout as Khal Drogo in Game of Thrones to his portrayal of the vengeful warrior Baba Voss in See, Momoa has consistently excelled in roles that demand intensity, physicality, and a commanding presence. What makes Lobo a particularly perfect fit is the character’s blend of brutality and humor.
