My son and I met Momoa at a convention here in New Zealand earlier this year and I said to him after we'd taken our picture "thanks Lobo" and he just gave us a grin and a fist bump as we walked off. And in my head I was thinking yeah he's definitely Lobo 😆
i like how Gunn and Saffron are bold enough to do the most obscure random characters and also smart enough to tie in fan favorite characters into and around those stories
@@Ed83295 i can’t just consume content like others do. I will say it how it is, and most others will do the same. But I am hoping so much that this new DC will be good!
2:58 Respectfully disagree with that statement to some extent. While a great performance can overshadow appearances (which does happen), I believe looks are equally important as acting talent. For instance, if an actor doesn't visually embody Superman or Batman/Bruce Wayne, it can be distracting, even if their acting is solid. Again, that’s not to say acting talent isn’t important because it also is.
Why tho? If there was no place for him as that character in what was written? Like if there’s nothing written for lobo but they wanted him as Aquaman and that was written then… makes sense to have him as that character. And I love him as aquaman. I do agree he was always destined for Lobo! But! I also sorta believe without him playing Aquaman he wouldn’t have had the opportunity to play Lobo.
@@KJ_1810 thing is they could of done a lobo story with superman easily but instead they kept rushing team ups films if they had a second superman film with lobo it would of been amazing and could of setup lobo spin off films.
@@cesaracosta5483 honestly, I’m glad he wasn’t. The old DCEU team would’ve wasted him. Snyder would’ve turned him into a serial killer instead of a bounty hunter.
Remember Jason Momoa’s first Aquaman movie was the ONLY DCEU film to reach over $1B so his Aquaman was awesome and that’s coming from a guy who loves the MCU franchise
Well that was mostly thanks to China. They seemed to love that movie. Made almost 300 million there. The second movie without China made less than Black Adam did. I say without China because Black Adam was denied a Chinese release..
For my understanding the comic book Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, written by Tom King was originally pitched as a Supergirl/Lobo comic, but he was taken out of the comic early on. Which is an interesting perspective, so I don't think Lobo is going to be the main bad guy, but more like a Jack Sparrow ish companion throughout the movie.
I thought he'd have been perfect casting for Lobo years ago. That is *THE* role for an actor like him. The right type of energy and he looks just like him, which is a huge problem with comic book movies nowadays is the lack of authenticity in the characters appearances.
Lobo in his graphic novels was banned from Heaven and Hell (similar to Deadpool). He's got a level of 4th wall breaking and reality warping, on par with Saitama. He's basically immortal, as he can regenerate from just a drop of blood. As op as it gets.
I have been praying to see Lobo make his debut for ages! Jason is perfect to play Lobo, he knows the character inside and out! He will bring justice to the Main Man!
Momoa is perfect as LOBO. He was a terrible Aquaman...just terrible! He basically was playing LOBO as Aquaman LOL! So yeah glad to see Momoa used correctly!
All I can say is about damn time, I still stand by Jason Mamoa did a great job as Aquaman but there’s no denying that he was born to play Lobo, everything from his perfect look down to his personality, everything just fits so well, and it’s obvious that he deep down has always wanted to be in this role more than any other DC character, it’s like how Ryan Reynolds played Green Lantern but desired more than anything to play Deadpool, and much like Ryan Reynolds I think him and Jason Mamoa did a solid job in those original roles (I don’t care what anyone says, I liked Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern) but there’s no denying that these second roles were what they were truly meant for
I think what we're starting to learn as we learn more about the DCU is that our original understanding that it was a soft launch isn't as true as we thought, and that there really is almost zero carryover. Any carryover has been explained as "It's technically a different version of the character but similar events happened in this universe"
He was born to play Lobo. Let’s just forget everything Aquaman. Snyder single handedly destroyed Aquaman trying to make him a himbo. NOW: forget about his dog…Will we finally see his daughter, Crush?!
My only real reference for this character is the 90’s Superman cartoon. Jason went from a fairly dorky character to a completely bad ass character! And 1000% he looks the part for Lobo
Jason as Aquaman was an interesting take. Alan Ritchson is my choice for live action Aquaman because of how perfect that casting was. Mamoa is now definitely perfect casting for Lobo and I know he's wanted this role for years. ❤🎬
Man I wouldn’t say lobo is like Deadpool or Wolverine in the slightest he’s himself there’s really no telling how he can be especially if he was hired for A job or he’s bored and looking for someone to fight hopefully James writes him well only time will tell !
So Lobo is a space bounty hunter who cannot be killed. Rides a bike in space. Is badass and can whoop the likes of supes in a straight up fist fight. Btw he's immortal because only a member of his race could have killed him, so he killed em all, so he's also the last of his species.
@@AmbientMess well he isn't really a hero so it works alright plus someone with weakness going against the likes of Superman, supergirl just becomes a kryptonite mining contest. He also is full of personality! If done right he would definitely be a fan favourite.
Love how the dcu has already had heroes and villains for a long time now he doesn’t need origin stories for everyone and he can just make any film or movie without having an specific order of movies and shows he gotta stick to tell the dcu story
At least Gunn learned to not give Lobo a solo movie right off the bat like Black Adam. Introduce us to who he is first, for crying out loud. And he's more like a Deadpool type character in how over the top anti-hero he is, so play their cards right, and this could be a billion-dollar franchise.
I'm super excited for this he's perfect for the role it also explains why he's been so game with all the other stuff with the end of the previous universe doing that small Cameo in the flash and the last movie he did he's never lost his enthusiasm even though the universe was ending and this explains completely why
Loboa is a pretty funny nickname . Jason Loboa . i am pretty happy with Jason Momoa being Lobo . he did a great job as Aquaman , in my opinion , and i think he will do a great job as Lobo . another good decision of James Gunn , i think . i really liked to hear you guys thoughts on it , John and crew
He's going to be so bad ass as lobo. And I hope he does go all out make up and all. As for the role of Aquaman. What I would do in another universe ask Alan Ritchson to play the part. Because Alan and Jason have both played the role. And they worked on another film together Fast X.
I don't think that meeting he was so giddy about was necessarily "you're Lobo" so much as a mutual agreement that he should be the first to get the call when the time comes, and an implication that it was likely to come up before Aquaman. I suspect the actual call and the closing of the deal was more recent, as they'd probably have announced it before now otherwise.
Jason Momoa is cool. I really like those Aquaman movies. He's a star! He can take a big hug from me any day. He might kill me, but let's give it a go. Happy to finish last.
Some of us acting like this wasn’t announced literally almost a yr+ ago with Mamoa on I.G….what we didn’t know was were will he be showing up in a solo venture which should happen, but instead it’s as a SuperGirl villain…one thing we have to admit he ELEVATED Aquaman character, cause that just would’ve been hard to pull off, but Lobo like Hugh & Logan, Ryan & Deadpool, Heath & Joker, Robert & IronMan….this is just a natural fit character for him…
Great news! So... this opens the door to Henry Cavil as Batman!!! It would be perfect casting. Bruce and Clark look exactly the same in the comics and everyone thought Cavil was to stoic to be Superman. Who's with me ✊️
He looks like Kraven too, would have been a great choice for Kraven… in one of the MCU Spider-Man of course. However, can he commit to put on muscle for Lobo though. I remember he said something in one Aquaman 2 interview like he won’t lift weight unless studio pays him. That was why he looked so chubby in Aquaman 2
The amount of times, that I keep getting hyped over DC stuff Momoa as Lobo, Supergirl movie, Krypto in Superman, The Superman Poster, music, trailer, Brave & The Bold, Clayface, Clayface written by Flanagan, the Bane/Deathstroke project, uh... FN... The Swamp Thing, there was something about a robin project, I can't even keep track. This new DCU hasn't even really Started yet & it's been better than the DCEU. In my opinion anyway.

Lobo aint an( obscure random character )
Id say Lobo is obscure to the general audience. Only people who follow DC shows and comics really know about him
@@LazyEyeNZ definitely not true lol he's pretty popular
I didn't say he isn't popular I said he's obscure lol
@@MRGooodwineTV among general audience?
Casting jason as Lobo and putting him in the upcoming supergirl movie is a genius move.
and Jason is SOOO happy. He's been wanting this. Even before Aquaman
This is perfect fan casting brought to life.
That's right Kevmaster
Only 2 absolute no-brainers in the entire history of comic-verse cinema casting calls:
1. Patrick Stewart as Prof. X
2. Jason Momoa as Lobo
Ralph Fiennes would be an amazing Professor X.
And Kellsey Grammar was the perfect beast
James gunn and peter saffron are cooking
Cooking somethin… not sure if it’s good or bad yet
@TreyJaySoSway spread the positivity rather than negativity. Let's say good, to be good
@@Ed83295 i can’t just consume content like others do. I will say it how it is, and most others will do the same. But I am hoping so much that this new DC will be good!
They burnt the cooking with super man
I am SO glad he’s being cast as Lobo now and not during the old DCEU. They would’ve wasted him.
From Aquaman to MAIN MAN

This is great news. Lobo is a much better fit for him.
Great casting

To say this is the “perfect casting”, is a MASSIVE understatement!
About damn time!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Jason Mamoa as Lobo is PERFECT casting! Say what you will about his Aquaman (I thought he was good) but Lobo is a wayyyy better fit for him!
THE MAYNE MAN!!!!
Yessir!
Love it👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😂😎
Hopefully dc will allow lobo to be their deadpool where he belongs instead of harley quinn.
I have been praying to see Lobo make his debut for ages! Jason is perfect to play Lobo, he knows the character inside and out! He will bring justice to the Main Man!
So basically James Gunn just casted Lobo as Jason Momoa. Got it!
Jason Momoa was born to play as Lobo. Just like Hugh Jackman for Wolverine, and Ryan Reynolds for Deadpool.
Finally, he looks like Lobo more than Aquaman
Patrick Wilson looked a lot more like aquaman. And I hope it happens in this new dcu
Momoa is Lobo? ABSO-FRAGGIN-LUTELY
This will be one of the best castings in the comic book movie genre.
We all know, he's gonna bring the " my man" and "Yahoooooo!!!" quotes in lobo
Everybody since they announced he was Aquaman said that he should've been Lobo.
Momoa is perfect as LOBO. He was a terrible Aquaman...just terrible! He basically was playing LOBO as Aquaman LOL! So yeah glad to see Momoa used correctly!
Loboa😂
I freaking love that
Joke's on WB. Jason Momoa always was Lobo. He didn't need their permission. He just let them think he did.
A decision that should’ve been made from the beginning!!
From ma man to main man
All I can say is about damn time, I still stand by Jason Mamoa did a great job as Aquaman but there’s no denying that he was born to play Lobo, everything from his perfect look down to his personality, everything just fits so well, and it’s obvious that he deep down has always wanted to be in this role more than any other DC character, it’s like how Ryan Reynolds played Green Lantern but desired more than anything to play Deadpool, and much like Ryan Reynolds I think him and Jason Mamoa did a solid job in those original roles (I don’t care what anyone says, I liked Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern) but there’s no denying that these second roles were what they were truly meant for

When i saw him in the last Fast movie - I KNEW it had to be a “screen test” for lobo - glad to see him as lobo officially
It’s crazy that a lot of people thought he was playing Lobo in the Snyderverse when casting was announced
He was born to play Lobo. Let’s just forget everything Aquaman. Snyder single handedly destroyed Aquaman trying to make him a himbo.
NOW: forget about his dog…Will we finally see his daughter, Crush?!
Hes Born To Play Lobo
He’s as perfect for this role as Ryan Reynolds for Deadpool. Both literally born to play these characters
Alexander Skaarsgard, Sam Claflin, Liam Hemsworth, Charlie Hunnam, Alexander Ludwig should be the Next DC’s Aquaman
Liam is a crap actor but Hunnam would be great for Aquaman or Green Arrow
Hunnam said no to green arrow when they approached him with the old dceu. Hopefully James gunn can convince him.
Awesome casting DCU is cooking 🔥
im ao glad. he definetly looks like lobo
My only real reference for this character is the 90’s Superman cartoon. Jason went from a fairly dorky character to a completely bad ass character! And 1000% he looks the part for Lobo
Jason Loboa, the Main Man!
Him being cast as LOBO is beyond perfect. That's why I never liked Snyder's DCEU. He was never a good fit as Aquaman.
Jason as Aquaman was an interesting take. Alan Ritchson is my choice for live action Aquaman because of how perfect that casting was. Mamoa is now definitely perfect casting for Lobo and I know he's wanted this role for years. ❤🎬
Alan ritchson has played live action aquaman where have you been...
I've been saying that Momoa should play Lobo since I first saw him as Ronon Dex, in Stargate: Atlantis.
For the OGs out there, this is like a Wizard magazine casting match made in heaven.
An actor looking like the character is the first and foremost important thing when casting.
To an extent yes, but you also want said actor to be a decent actor as well.
Man I wouldn’t say lobo is like Deadpool or Wolverine in the slightest he’s himself there’s really no telling how he can be especially if he was hired for A job or he’s bored and looking for someone to fight hopefully James writes him well only time will tell !
We got Aquaman versus young Rhaenyra Targaryen before GTA 6. 💀💀
So Lobo is a space bounty hunter who cannot be killed. Rides a bike in space. Is badass and can whoop the likes of supes in a straight up fist fight. Btw he's immortal because only a member of his race could have killed him, so he killed em all, so he's also the last of his species.
He's immortal because he's banned from heaven and hell 🤣
BINGO! So completely relatable to the average viewer looking for a flawed character that has little to no physical weaknesses :p
@@isiaharellano3789 there's that too! And he's a playboy.. a space playboy!
@@AmbientMess well he isn't really a hero so it works alright plus someone with weakness going against the likes of Superman, supergirl just becomes a kryptonite mining contest. He also is full of personality! If done right he would definitely be a fan favourite.
I ALWAYS thought he was eventually going to play that role! lol! He looks just like him!
Jason would be a perfect Lobo, if we’re just being honest!
Love how the dcu has already had heroes and villains for a long time now he doesn’t need origin stories for everyone and he can just make any film or movie without having an specific order of movies and shows he gotta stick to tell the dcu story
Jason Momoa as Lobo is gonna be fun and interesting to watch. This role fits him, despite being so good as Aquaman that will be missed.
It was expected but it suits him better then aqwaman
All they have to apply is some light makeup on Momoa and he's good to shoot.😂 Christ, they're fucking twins.
At least Gunn learned to not give Lobo a solo movie right off the bat like Black Adam. Introduce us to who he is first, for crying out loud. And he's more like a Deadpool type character in how over the top anti-hero he is, so play their cards right, and this could be a billion-dollar franchise.
Doubt it. Millions for sure but not billion
Lobo finally ready to play Jason Momoa 😍

DCU looking good....
Lobo was meant to be in the original Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow comic book, but an executive made Tom King take him out
Now this excites me for the dceu
It's DCU.
Square peg, square hole would be a fool not to-CANT FREAKING WAIT!!!
Jason Mamoa LOOKS like Lobo and has the muscular build for it, too. Very exciting news.
Do you think this could mean, sometime in the future, they’ll announce a Lobo film starring Jason Momoa? Yay or nay?
There is no rush. But I can believe if it goes over well then yeh if a good enough script is there
For sure!
He's going to be so bad ass as lobo. And I hope he does go all out make up and all. As for the role of Aquaman. What I would do in another universe ask Alan Ritchson to play the part. Because Alan and Jason have both played the role. And they worked on another film together Fast X.

Olivia Cooke or Victoria Pedretti as Poison Ivy.
Courtney Eaton as Wonder Woman.
Antony Starr as Constantine.
Na Ryan gosling would be a perfect constantine
I love both of those picks for Poison Ivy. Would be happy with either.
Lucas Till, Grant Gustin, Timotee Chalamet, Miles Teller should be the Next DC’s Flash
horrible picks all around
Jason Momoa already looks like the part so yeah! LFG!
You think is good idea to put lobo in Supergirl movie
It's perfect and totally falls in line with the Woman of Tomorrow comic books
Seeing as he was originally supposed to be in the book I would say yeah
Imagine Jason as Lobo riding up, and you hear Motley Crue’s Wild Side 😁🤟🔥 F Yeah haha
If you read Comic's Lobo DC is actually everyone's favorite Character
In today's time's😊
These DCU castings are giving me flashbacks of Justice League/Superman animated series back in my childhood days
Maybe James will hire Alan ritchson for batman
Alan have fisique du role but to old man ! He 45 years old , we Need actor 33/35 years old for play dcu Batman !
@@kingjames846Especially because we’ll see this Batman not before 5/6 years.
He will probably be Aquaman just like in smallville
Wtf!! I'm hype! He got it My Man
This is perfect casting. Momoa was always a much better fit for Lobo than Aquaman.
This will be another Deadpool moment.
My man 😅
PERFECT CASTING ❤
MOMOBO is nice too.
Jason Momoa is Channing Tatumin' over here
Jason Momoa is cool. I really like those Aquaman movies. He's a star! He can take a big hug from me any day. He might kill me, but let's give it a go. Happy to finish last.
Man finally a good choice!!!
Hope we get Space Dolphin cameo than Dawg in my opinion. That'll suit Mamoa more too, since he loves marine life.
Some of us acting like this wasn’t announced literally almost a yr+ ago with Mamoa on I.G….what we didn’t know was were will he be showing up in a solo venture which should happen, but instead it’s as a SuperGirl villain…one thing we have to admit he ELEVATED Aquaman character, cause that just would’ve been hard to pull off, but Lobo like Hugh & Logan, Ryan & Deadpool, Heath & Joker, Robert & IronMan….this is just a natural fit character for him…
New Mask Same Task
Perfect choice hw looks and acts a little like lobo
If they don't make a Lobo spin off I'll be devastated.
I hope they make him a scumbag like in the comics, not a Lovable grump.
Great news! So... this opens the door to Henry Cavil as Batman!!! It would be perfect casting. Bruce and Clark look exactly the same in the comics and everyone thought Cavil was to stoic to be Superman. Who's with me ✊️
Nah i think Cavill should play Zod.
Jason better work out the Lobo physique! He didn’t lift one weight for Aquaman 2.
He looks like Kraven too, would have been a great choice for Kraven… in one of the MCU Spider-Man of course.
However, can he commit to put on muscle for Lobo though. I remember he said something in one Aquaman 2 interview like he won’t lift weight unless studio pays him. That was why he looked so chubby in Aquaman 2
The dawg will absolutely make an appearance n should be riding shot gun
The amount of times, that I keep getting hyped over DC stuff
Momoa as Lobo,
Supergirl movie,
Krypto in Superman,
The Superman Poster, music, trailer, Brave & The Bold, Clayface, Clayface written by Flanagan, the Bane/Deathstroke project, uh... FN...
The Swamp Thing, there was something about a robin project, I can't even keep track. This new DCU hasn't even really Started yet & it's been better than the DCEU. In my opinion anyway.
NO FRIGGIN WAY!!😃🤯
I think that Aquaman was the best of the DCU followed by Flash🎉🎉love Lobo
