AceShowbiz - Jason Momoa has responded with humor when asked about the possibility of a different actor taking on the role of Aquaman in the DC Universe, Superherohype reports. Though Aquaman has yet to appear in the current iteration of the DC Universe, Momoa, who now stars as Lobo in the upcoming film Supergirl, joked that he would have anyone else playing Aquaman eliminated, reflecting his character’s fierce attitude.

Epicstream also highlighted that Momoa acknowledged the potential for another actor to embody Aquaman, noting that since he is currently portraying Lobo, the door remains open for different interpretations. Superherohype detailed that Aquaman remains uncast for the foreseeable future, with DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn confirming the role will stay vacant for some time. Momoa further suggested that his versions of Aquaman and Lobo could coexist within the same universe, referencing producer Peter Safran’s involvement with the Aquaman films and the positive relationship between director James Wan and James Gunn. He explained that Wan brought a fresh, more vibrant take on Aquaman compared to Zack Snyder’s darker vision in Justice League, and that balancing those elements was key during his portrayal.

Sharing on his own Instagram, Momoa conveyed enthusiasm about playing Lobo, describing the role as a dream come true connected to his personal comic book collection. He also reflected on the fun hypothetical of Aquaman and Lobo meeting and bonding over drinks, a scenario previously joked about by Peter Safran as a potential future film.

Jason Momoa first rose to prominence as Jason Ioane on Baywatch and later established himself as a major movie star through his iconic role as Arthur Curry/Aquaman in the successful DC films. His diverse career also includes acclaimed turns in Dune, Fast and Furious 10, and the comedic hit Minecraft. Currently, he prepares for the release of Supergirl, where he stars alongside Milly Alcock.

This lighthearted response from Momoa underscores the shifting landscape of the DC Universe, where new creative directions and casting decisions are unfolding. With Aquaman’s role still open and James Gunn shaping the franchise’s future, fans may see surprising developments ahead, including fresh portrayals of beloved characters.
