There’s an ocean’s worth of speculation about what’s in store for DC Studios with Peter Safran and James Gunn heading as co-CEOs. One of the topics that has managed to find its way to the top revolves around Aquaman star Jason Momoa leaving the titular role for the alien Lobo. On paper, it probably makes a lot of sense, but there are so many things wrong with this recasting.
The state of the live-action DC Universe is in a state of flux and confusion. It would seem as though the previous DCEU is being scrapped, with Black Adam not getting a sequel, the Wonder Woman trilogy being put on indefinite hold, and Henry Cavill no longer in as Superman following his Black Adam appearance. A new universe is being created by Gunn, who’s writing the next Superman movie, but many fans still want to see their fan-favorite characters from the previous DCEU. This is an understandable reaction given the impact may of these characters have had. The issue in Momoa’s case is that if he were to play Lobo, it sends a very problematic message.
