It read: “So Lobo was… I collect comics, and I don’t do so much anymore, but he was always my favourite, and I always wanted to play Lobo, because I’m like, ‘Hello? It’s the perfect role.’
“I mean, listen. If they call and ask me to play him, it’s a f**k yeah. I haven’t received that call, so I don’t want to put any fake news out there, but if they ever call me and ask me to play, or ask me to audition, I’m there.” He playfully captioned the post, “They called” to confirm the news, which sent his fans into overdrive with the announcement.
Taking to , one person expressed: “At last, the DC role he was made for,” as another fan agreed: “Born to play it.” Somebody else recalled: “Remember all those years ago Jason posted a video of himself running out of a meeting with Gunn (right after James became head of Creative at DC) excited as hell, like he was the happiest he’s ever been?

Yet another gushed: “It’s about time,” as someone else penned: “This is one of those times when a perfect casting opportunity is present for a character that you got to use him now. Everything about Momoa fits so well for Lobo.”
