Jason Momoa said that a solo film planned for the character Lobo would only make sense if it is made with an R rating. The actor clearly expressed his reluctance to participate in a PG-13 version.
Momoa stated that he has discussed this matter with DC Studios executives James Gunn and Peter Safran. According to him, Lobo’s tough, profane, and chaotic nature requires a more adult-oriented narrative to preserve the character’s essence.
Emphasis on the Character’s Spirit
Momoa said that his only condition for starring in a solo film is the R rating. He added that he is ready to take on the character but does not want to be involved in a project with a lower rating.
Lobo has been known since 1983 as one of DC’s most unruly and destructive figures. Created by Roger Slifer and Keith Giffen, the character hails from the planet Czarnia and stands out as an anti-hero.
Key details in the character’s story include his destruction of his own planet and subsequent work as a bounty hunter. Lobo’s extreme durability, regenerative abilities, and physical superiority also set him apart in the DC universe.
Possibility of a Darker Tone in the DC Universe
The report also mentions that DC is moving toward a darker and more adult-oriented approach for some characters in the future. This approach strengthens the possibility of a grittier film for Lobo.
Momoa’s stance aligns with expectations that the character should remain true to himself. If a solo film happens, the goal is to preserve Lobo’s usual harsh language and chaotic energy.
For now, audiences are waiting to see the character’s appearance in DC Studios’ upcoming Supergirl film. Momoa’s statement has already sparked discussion about the tone of a potential solo Lobo movie.
