Jason Momoa’s Bold Day-One Text to James Gunn: ‘F—ing Lobo’ Sparks DC Studios Buzz

March 10, 2025 – When James Gunn officially took the reins as co-CEO of DC Studios, he probably expected a busy first day. What he might not have anticipated was a fiery text from Jason Momoa that set the tone for their new era of collaboration. According to Gunn, the Aquaman star didn’t mince words, texting him “F—ing Lobo” on day one—a blunt declaration of intent that reignited years of fan speculation about Momoa’s next DC role. Gunn’s response? A cool, confident, “I’ve been saying you should be Lobo for years.”

The exchange, which Gunn recently shared in an interview, offers a glimpse into the dynamic between the filmmaker and the larger-than-life actor as they chart the future of the DC Universe. It’s no secret that Momoa has long been a fan favorite to play the cigar-chomping, foul-mouthed intergalactic bounty hunter Lobo—a character whose wild energy seems tailor-made for the Hawaiian-born star’s rugged charisma. But this text, sent the moment Gunn stepped into his new role, suggests Momoa is more than ready to trade his trident for a chain and a bad attitude.

A Match Made in DC Heaven

Lobo, for the uninitiated, is one of DC Comics’ most unapologetically chaotic characters. Created in 1983 by Roger Slott and Keith Giffen, the Czarnian antihero is known for his brutal strength, irreverent humor, and a penchant for destruction that makes even the rowdiest bar brawl look tame. Over the years, fans have clamored for Lobo to hit the big screen, and Momoa’s name has been a constant in those conversations. With his towering physique, infectious grin, and a knack for playing larger-than-life personalities, it’s easy to see why.

Gunn, the mastermind behind Guardians of the Galaxy and The Suicide Squad, has never shied away from embracing the wilder corners of comic book lore. His confirmation that he’s been eyeing Momoa for Lobo “for years” only fuels the excitement. “Jason’s got this raw, untamed energy that’s perfect for Lobo,” Gunn said in the interview. “When he texted me that, I just laughed—it’s so him. I’ve been telling anyone who’d listen that he’s the guy.”

From Aquaman to Lobo?

Momoa’s tenure as Arthur Curry, aka Aquaman, has been a cornerstone of the DC Extended Universe (DCEU), with Aquaman (2018) grossing over $1 billion worldwide and its sequel, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (2023), further cementing his status as a fan favorite. But with the DCEU undergoing a major reboot under Gunn and co-CEO Peter Safran, the future of Momoa’s aquatic hero remains uncertain. Could Lobo be his next big DC chapter?

The timing of the text couldn’t be more intriguing. Gunn’s first day at DC Studios marked the beginning of a bold new vision for the franchise, one that promises to blend legacy characters with fresh faces. While Momoa has expressed his love for playing Aquaman, his “F—ing Lobo” message suggests he’s eager to dive into something grittier—and fans are here for it. Social media erupted after Gunn shared the anecdote, with hashtags like #MomoaLobo and #LoboLives trending on X within hours.

What’s Next for DC Studios?

Gunn has been tight-lipped about specific plans for Lobo, but his track record hints at big things. Known for turning obscure characters like Peacemaker and Rocket Raccoon into household names, he’s uniquely equipped to bring Lobo’s anarchic charm to life. Whether it’s a standalone film, a streaming series on Max, or a cameo in Gunn’s upcoming Superman (set for release in 2025), the possibilities are endless.

For Momoa, the role would be a chance to flex his comedic chops and lean into a darker, more unhinged side of his acting range. “I love Aquaman, man, but Lobo? That’s a whole other beast,” Momoa reportedly told friends at a recent event. “I’d get to break stuff, smoke cigars, and just go nuts. Who wouldn’t want that?”

A Day-One Declaration

That first-day text exchange between Momoa and Gunn isn’t just a funny story—it’s a signal of intent. As DC Studios embarks on its next phase, the partnership between these two creative powerhouses could redefine the franchise. Gunn’s vision and Momoa’s passion might just give fans the Lobo they’ve been dreaming of for decades.

For now, all eyes are on DC Studios as Gunn settles into his role. If Momoa’s “F—ing Lobo” text is any indication, the future of DC is about to get a whole lot louder, wilder, and—dare we say it—friggin’ awesome.
