澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:James Gunn said it was always in the cards for Jas🎃on Momoa to play DC hero Lobo.

"Jason was literally the first text I got after DC Studios was announced," Gunn told . "And his text was🦩, 'Lobo baby' with ten billion exclamation points. So essentially, I was like, 'I think that’s a pretty good idea' so it was always part of the 🥃plan."

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:It was announced back in 2023 that the former Aquaman star would go onto play Lobo in Gunn and Peter Safran's newly established DCU. The intergalactic foul-mouthed bounty hunter was 🔥created by Roger Slifer and Keith Giffen, who first appeared in Omega Men #3 in 1983. Momoa confirmed the casting via on New Year's Eve, sharing a past interview quote expressing his desire to play the character.

Though no solo movie has been planned, Momoa is set to make his first appearance as Lobo in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, which is cur﷽rently filming in London. It makes perfect sense for Lobo to appear in Supergirl, as the movie sees Kara Zor-El travel across the galaxy on a "murderous quest for revenge."

"It’s💮 one of the fun things about working with Craig Gillespie," Safran said, in reference to creating Lobo's live-action look. "He’s just been such a great col🍎laborator on creating Millie’s look and Jason’s look and Matthias Schoenaerts’ look. It’s been fun.”

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is set to hit theaters on June 26, 2026. For more, check out our list of the most exciting 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming movies in 2025 and beyond.
