It is possible that Jason Momoa will not return to the Aquaman universe after the release of his 2023 film Aquaman 2 and the Lost Kingdom. Exactly why? The actor is reportedly dissatisfied with the script for the upcoming sequel. There doesn’t seem to be much hope for DCU’s Aquaman franchise. Jason Momoa’s Aquaman 2 test screenings have reportedly been poorly received, with some viewers even walking out. According to reports, some viewers believe the James Wan-directed movie to be among the worst in the DC universe. This is also Jason Momoa’s last appearance in the DCU continuity. Jason Momoa’s future in the DC Universe has been revealed by reliable insider Jeff Sneider.

He heard Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom was “terrible” and that Momoa would become Lobo. According to what I hear, it’s terrible, and that’s why Momoa will be Lobo from now on. DC can’t say that yet because then it will be a lame duck… and they hope to make another billion from it. It’s not a huge surprise since the first one was awful as well. A rumour has it that Lobo may be the villain of 2025’s Superman: Legacy, which will be the first major chapter of the new DCU. The possibility of a third Aquaman film has previously been teased by Peter Safran, who claimed Jason Momoa always viewed Aquaman as a trilogy in his mind.

It has also been reported that some viewers considered the James Wan-directed film to be one of the worst in the DC universe. What is Jason Momoa’s future in the DC Universe after his upcoming film? There is reliable information available from an insider named Jeff Sneider. According to Sneider, Momoa might play Lobo in the future.

But they can’t say that yet since it would be a lame duck… and DC hopes to make another billion. The first one was awful too, so not a big surprise. As for the first one, it was terrible as well. As some DC heroes are aware, Lobo is a shady cosmic bounty hunter and mercenary. It’s rumoured Lobo might also appear in the Superman: Legacy movie in 2025. The film will mark the beginning of the new DC Universe. In a cryptic post earlier this year, the actor revealed that Warner Bros. has great news for him. Also, he expressed his gratitude to James Gunn and Peter Safran, the heads of DC Studios. Considering Momoa’s desire to portray Lobo, it would be a big surprise if he appears in the DC films as the villain. It will only take time to find out. Currently, Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom is scheduled for release on December 25, 2023.
