Jason Momoa Pushes for R‑Rated Lobo and Says Talks With DC Leadership Are Underway

Momoa says he has discussed a possible solo Lobo with DC co‑head James Gunn and insists any standalone film must be rated R to match the character’s comic tone.

Overview

  • Momoa will make his first appearance as Lobo in the Supergirl film in a reportedly limited role, and he is already talking about the character’s future beyond that entry.
  • The actor confirmed conversations with James Gunn and said he has also spoken with DC Studios co‑head Peter Safran about the character’s potential trajectory.
  • Momoa stated he will not make a solo Lobo film unless it is rated R, arguing that the character’s violent, anti‑hero nature requires a mature rating.
  • DC Studios has not greenlit a standalone Lobo project and any expansion would depend on Supergirl’s audience response and the studio’s decision to build a clear fanbase for the character.
  • Lobo’s comic history as a violent, mercenary anti‑hero and DC’s recent practice of gradual rollouts for characters, along with Momoa’s other film commitments, shape the practical timeline for any solo movie.
