Is Jason Momoa Unhappy With ‘Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom’?
The ‘Game of Thrones’ actor is unhappy with the early screenings of ‘Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom.’ Many have labeled the sequel “terrible,” even calling it the worst DCU movie. If the reports are true, he will say goodbye to ‘Aquaman.’
Thanks to prominent insider Jeff Sneider, we have word on the inner happenings of the DC studios. Here’s what he had to say about Momoa’s probable departure, “I hear it’s terrible and that’s why Momoa is gonna be Lobo going forward.”
I hear it’s terrible and that’s why Momoa is gonna be Lobo going forward. But they can’t say that yet because then it would be a lame duck… and DC is hoping to wring another billion out of the box office. First one was awful too, so not a huge surprise. https://t.co/VlbUoqILDm

Which DC Character Could Jason Momoa Play?
If Jason Momoa does leave ‘Aquaman,’ it will likely clear the road for him to play Lobo. He is a massive fan of the comic-book character. The 43-year-old actor hasn’t been shy about his desire to play the buffed mercenary.
While James Gunn’s DC slate didn’t have a solo ‘Lobo’ project, we can see him turning up as another DC character. Momoa winked at his involvement in multiple DCU projects at Variety Studio this year.
Jason Momoa could lead his solo ‘Lobo‘ film for the DCU, but there have been long-standing rumors of him turning up as the antagonist in James Gunn’s ‘Superman‘ film. Titled ‘Superman: Legacy,’ this James Gunn-written and directed project will have a younger iteration of the Man of Steel. Gunn is looking to cast an actor in his 30s for the role.
