Of all the weather swirling round James Gunn’s new DCU slate of upcoming superhero films, few have followers buzzing greater than Jason Momoa’s Lobo casting in Craig Gillespie’s Supergirl: Lady of Tomorrow. Casting the previous Aquaman actor because the intergalactic badass was already a mic-drop second, and followers are tremendous excited to see what he’ll seem like because the character. We nearly acquired a sneak peek at Lobo when Momoa almost shared his look with CinemaBlend. And, after that, Gunn shared a humorous response to that near-miss.
CinemaBlend spoke with Jason Momoa and Jack Black on the Minecraft Film press junket. It was there that Momoa—clearly amped about his upcoming DC position—very almost unveiled a sneak peek at his Lobo design by way of his cellphone earlier than being shut down by a publicist. The Superman director and co-DCU architect has now chimed in with a wonderfully timed Instagram story submit, which noticed him share a little bit of gratitude to the A-lister’s publicist:
That’s essentially the most James Gunn response I may have imagined. I imply, discuss on model.
And, whereas the near-reveal of Lobo’s cinematic look was sufficient to ship followers right into a frenzy, for me, it was Jack Black who utterly stole the second within the video. Sitting beside his co-star through the Minecraft press interview, Black couldn’t resist leaping in along with his personal model of chaotic allure—mispronouncing “Lobo” in essentially the most Jack Black approach attainable and pitching himself for a cameo in Supergirl. It was the type of unscripted gold you may’t plan for and, actually, now we type of want to see him present up within the DCU—even when it’s simply to say “Loooobooo” one time. Try a snippet of our interview:
Black’s concept for a Supergirl cameo was most likely meant as a joke, however actually, having him in an upcoming DC film isn’t as loopy because it sounds. Bear in mind when he nearly landed the position of Inexperienced Lantern some time again? Certain, that might have most likely been horrible, however along with his superior comedic timing and shocking vary, the Faculty of Rock star may completely match into the DCU—whether or not as a random aspect character, a humorous villain, or some offbeat one-off position.
So James Gunn, for those who’re on the market studying this, you’ve already acquired an incredible solid in your universe. Why not make some room for the Tenacious D man? There’s undoubtedly house for the D man!
As for many who could not know, acknowledged as DC’s foul-mouthed, cigar-chomping Czarnian bounty hunter, Lobo is as brutal as he’s beloved. He’s the type of antihero who exhibits up, causes chaos, and leaves a path of damaged bones and bar tabs behind him. If there’s any actor who can embody that vitality, it is Jason Momoa. His mixture of physicality, charisma, and devil-may-care perspective matches the character like a black leather-based glove.
We didn’t get our visible reveal simply but (thanks so much, publicists!), however the buzz across the character actually appears to be constructing precisely the way in which Gunn and DC possible hoped–with out spoilers. And, if Jason Momoa’s enthusiasm is any clue, he’s about to ship one thing that’s going to interrupt the web the second the primary picture drops.
