AQUAMAN 3 May Be Moving Forward After All - But Will Jason Momoa Also Play LOBO?

During last night's Q&A, Peter Safran indicated that DC Studios may be developing a third Aquaman movie - but what about the rumors that Jason Momoa might also take on the role of Lobo?

Fans are still buzzing (or fuming, in some cases) after the announcement of Chapter 1 of the DCU slate earlier today, and we also got some clarification on the current status of the "Snyderverse Era" actors and whether they will have any part to play in the future of this shared film and TV world.

It seems like the door is still open for the likes of Gal Gadot, Zachary Levi and Ezra Miller (believe it or not) to reprise their respective roles down the line, but, short of any future Elseworlds projects featuring his take on the character, Henry Cavill is out as Superman.

As for Jason Momoa, it sounds like he will indeed be staying put as Aquaman, and a third movie may already be in the planning stages.

Though nothing was officially confirmed, Peter Safran did drop a telling hint when asked whether Momoa would be sticking around as Arthur Curry: “Jason always saw Aquaman as a trilogy.”

The Game of Thrones alum has been expressing his excitement about taking on a new role in the DCU via social media, and there were trade reports that he may also be in line to play Lobo. All James Gunn would offer was: “I will say we won’t have an actor playing two different roles."

Okay... yeah, we're still very confused!

This could be something Gunn and Safran aren't quite ready to elaborate on, so hopefully we'll have a better idea of what to expect after Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom hits theaters. Gunn did say that James Wan's sequel would "lead directly" into the new DCU slate, so perhaps there will be more connectivity than we realized?

He f***ing better be playing Lobo. I have a soft spot for Jason's take on Arthur but it's just not Aquaman to me.

@FilmGuy7878 - He literally just say "Jason is Aquaman, and he wont be playing two roles"

LITERALLY.

FilmGuy7878 - 1/31/2023, 2:11 PM

@TheHumanSpider2 - Oh damn. Welp Jason's in then lol.

@tylerzero - Yes I did, well a few minutes ago but it still counts.

i mean the first one made a billion and a lobo movie was never gonna pull those numbers so… he gettin the bag at least. gadot and miller staying makes less sense but the latter has a chokehold on wb execs it seems

@tmp3 - I mean, Lobo could pull Deadpool numbers. And with a comparable budget could actually be more profitable than a billion dollar grossing aquaman movie.

@tmp3

I still don’t think Ezra is going to be The Flash. They will wait until after the movies release or whenever they plan on using Barry again to announce a recasting.

@tmp3

OT:

regularmovieguy - 1/31/2023, 2:46 PM

@regularmovieguy - sent you a message

TheHumanSpider2 - 1/31/2023, 2:09 PM

Yeah, well, I [frick]ing told you guys, who kept imagining things, Jason is Aquaman, and he was never, ever, going to play Lobo.

FireandBlood - 1/31/2023, 2:10 PM

No one said he was playing Lobo. People made that shit up and ran with it, just like they did 10 years ago.

TheHumanSpider2 - 1/31/2023, 2:11 PM

@PlusUltra -

Superman vs Black Adam movie
Mephisto in Wandavision
Tom Cruise in MoM
Man of Steel 2
Jason Momoa playing Lobo

Seriously, STOP

marvel72 - 1/31/2023, 2:18 PM

@PlusUltra - Gunn said he'd like to make something with Lobo in it and Jason Momoa would be perfect in the role.

FireandBlood - 1/31/2023, 2:21 PM

@marvel72 - And so people put 2 and 2 together and came up with 6? Momoa’s Aquaman.

TheHumanSpider2 - 1/31/2023, 2:28 PM

@marvel72 - Jason said that YEARS ago, even before been cast as Aquaman.
And James only tweeted a picture of Lobo, just as que tweeted pics of a lot of obscure DC characters.

THAT'S IT.

marvel72 - 1/31/2023, 4:01 PM

@TheHumanSpider2 - He also tweeted Kingdom Come and I believe said that Booster Gold needs a movie but looks like a show instead.

Th3Batman - 1/31/2023, 2:10 PM

Yeah...this isn't a reboot, it's more of the same. Throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks.
