David Leitch Wants to Make a Solo Lobo Movie For the DCU: “It’s a story we were born to tell”

by

As a seasoned movie enthusiast with a soft spot for action-packed films and a deep appreciation for the nuances of character development, I am beyond excited about the prospect of a solo Lobo movie in the DC Universe, especially with Jason Momoa in the titular role. David Leitch’s directorial prowess, demonstrated in films like ‘John Wick,’ ‘Atomic Blonde,’ and ‘Deadpool 2,’ makes him an ideal choice to bring this chaotic character to life on the big screen.

With his knack for blending action with humor, Leitch could strike the perfect balance that Lobo demands, ensuring a rollercoaster ride of entertainment for audiences. His experience in the superhero genre, having worked on films like ‘Captain America: Civil War’ and ‘The Wolverine,’ further solidifies his suitability for this project.

I can only hope that James Gunn heeds Leitch’s repeated calls for a Lobo movie. After all, as the man himself said, “It’s a story we were born to tell..this character is all you.” And who am I to argue with that?

As for a joke, let me leave you with this: I’ve always wondered, if Lobo was such an unstoppable force, how come he couldn’t stop himself from being cast in the DCU?!

Just a few days past, Jason Momoa officially announced his role as Lobo in the DC Universe. His debut is anticipated in the forthcoming film ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow’. The actor himself made this clear by sharing a photo of himself perusing the script while puffing on a cigar.

As someone who has been following DC comics and movies for decades, I can say with confidence that there have been whispers since the beginning about Jason Momoa potentially playing Lobo. Given his physical resemblance to the character and his expressed desire to portray him, these rumors have gained significant traction. Having closely followed Momoa’s career, I am excited at the prospect of seeing him in this role, as he has shown a knack for bringing complex characters to life with conviction and charisma. If these rumors prove true, it would be an exciting development that I believe fans of both Momoa and Lobo will eagerly anticipate.

The film ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow’ has progressed significantly and is set to commence production in early 2025, according to James Gunn. This upcoming project will mark the second movie in production and the second film to be released under the DCU brand.

In response to Jason Momoa’s well-received performance, director David Leitch expressed his eagerness to helm a standalone Lobo film within the DC Universe. He also emphasized that he believes Momoa would be ideal for portraying the character.

I’m game for a standalone Lobo film, Jason Momoa! This tale seems destined to be told… this character feels tailor-made for you.

David Leitch is recognized for crafting high-octane films such as ‘John Wick’ (in collaboration) and ‘Atomic Blonde.’ He’s also behind the camera for ‘Deadpool 2’ and ‘Bullet Train,’ demonstrating his knack for integrating action with humor. Furthermore, he has a background in the superhero genre, having worked on ‘Captain America: Civil War’ and ‘The Wolverine.’

On this occasion as well, Leitch isn’t shy about pushing for a Lobo film. Let’s see if Gunn catches wind of it!
