It's been a crazy couple of days for the DC Universe following the overthrowing of the old regime led by the divisive former DC Films boss Walter Hamada. But just when you thought Henry Cavill's surprising return as Superman is the biggest trick James Gunn and Peter Safran are pulling up their sleeves, it looks like that's just the tip of the iceberg and more massive surprises are on their way.
This week, the DCU fandom was set ablaze when James Gunn seemingly hinted that Lobo is finally coming to the franchise. Just a day before the intriguing tease, Aquaman actor Jason Momoa hinted that DC Studios is working on his "dream" project and while he chose not to disclose it (for obvious reasons), fans went full-blown detective mode to piece everything together and according to their theory, it's all connected.
Now, in a shocking turn of events, the DCU fandom is now convinced that Jason is actually playing Lobo, a character he's been quite interested in. Of course, given the nature of his current role as Arthur Curry, playing another character who exists in the same continuity seems a bit farfetched.
However, people believe that Momoa is actually pulling double duty which in effect could make him the first actor to play two simultaneous roles in one franchise. What do you think?

There's no denying that Momoa fits the Lobo bill and while I wouldn't mind seeing him take on the role, his run as Aquaman has been excellent as well. Now, I don't really think DC Studios will allow him to pull double duty but with the way things are going under the new regime, you can never say never.
Meanwhile, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is hitting cinemas on December 25, 2023.
