It’s the perfect role,'” he said. “I mean, listen. If they call and ask me to play him, it’s a f*ck 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,” read the text further on the screengrab, shared with the caption, “They called.”
While more details about the plot are still under wraps, his casting was also confirmed by DC Studios co-chief James Gunn, who posted an animated image of Momoa as Lobo soon after. “Welcome to the #DCU Jason Momoa. @prideofgypsies #Lobo #Supergirl,” he added on his stories to further confirm the development.
