Aquaman star Jason Momoa just dropped a pretty major tease of his future with DC Studios. On Thursday, Momoa took to his Instagram stories to share a video of himself leaving a recent meeting with DC and Warner Bros., and teased that he has "great news" that he is excited to share with fans at some point. He then thanked new DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran, as well as Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav. It is unclear at this point if Momoa's "great news" concerns his future as Aquaman, or the long-standing rumor of him potentially portraying Lobo.
"Four years ago, I had the Jeep out front. Four years ago, I was screaming, wasn't I? Screaming when I left Warner Bros," Momoa remarks, before screaming again. "Four years again. It's a mystery, baby. I got some really good news, great news, with Warner Bros. Amazing. Wish I could tell you, but here it is. Peter, I love you. James, I love you. David... To the future, to the future."
While nothing has been confirmed, Momoa has openly expressed a desire to play the Czarnian bounty hunter for several years now, even thinking that he was being cast as the character back when he was originally offered the role of Aquaman. With Gunn sharing a photo of Lobo on social media shortly after stepping into his DC Studios role, and Momoa teasing that one of his "dreams" will be happening under Gunn and Safran's tenure, speculation has certainly flowed.
"We're honored to be the stewards of these DC characters we've loved since we were children," Gunn and Safran said in a statement. "We look forward to collaborating with the most talented writers, directors, and actors in the world to create an integrated, multilayered universe that still allows for the individual expression of the artists involved. Our commitment to Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Harley Quinn, and the rest of the DC stable of characters is only equaled by our commitment to the wonder of human possibility these characters represent. We're excited to invigorate the theatrical experience around the world as we tell some of the biggest, most beautiful, and grandest stories ever told."
The actor who gives life to Aquaman on the big screen has been the center of a series of rumors on social networks that suggest that, in Gunn and Safran's future plans, he could become one of DC's wildest characters: Wolf , the cosmic antihero.
As of today, the only future DC Studios project confirmed under the control of James Gunn and Peter Safran is the new Superman movie , which will not feature Henry Cavill after confirming that they are looking for a younger actor.
DC Studios is expected to announce part of the plans for the next few years this month, or at least that's what James Gunn himself announced, who is having a series of meetings these weeks. That is precisely what leads us to talk about Jason Momoa.
" I have very good news. Great news with Warner Bros. Unbelievable. I wish I could tell you, but that's as far as I can go. Peter [Safran], I love you. James [Gunn], I love you. David [Zaslav]. Ok. For the future , for the future ."
So far, the news that has been leaking after the arrival of Gunn and Safran at DC Studios have not been particularly exciting for fans. The departure of Henry Cavill as Superman or the cancellation of Wonder Woman 3 have not been big news.
Jason Momoa seems excited in this Instagram Story, but of course, without knowing for sure what it's about, it's hard to say anything.
