Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom star Jason Momoa not too long ago shared the story of what his first expertise was like auditioning for a DC film. He had no thought who he was initially auditioning for and after the lengthy complicated course of he realized that he was solid as Aquaman, and his response to the stunning information was hilarious. Momoa defined to Fandango:
“Well, I originally thought I was going to be playing Lobo in the very beginning because, I got called in, I auditioned for Batman. And, I almost didn’t do it. Because I was like, ‘This is silly. It’s not going to be me. Why am I auditioning for Batman?’ But, it was just a run-of-the-mill audition. And then, I get called in right after and it gets announced. I’m like, ‘Oh f**k, of course I’m going to play the bad guy.’ There’s not too many guys that can kick the s**t out of those two. So, I was like, ‘Yeah, I’ll come in, beat ’em up and diem like I do.’
So, Momoa thought he initially was auditioning for Lobo so when he got called in to be offered the role his expectations were in a completely different place. He went on to share how he learned he was playing Aquaman and his amusing response:
“Anyways, I acquired known as into the workplace and it was identical to, ‘Well… have you learnt who you are going to play?’ And I’m like yeah, Lobo! Yeah, in fact, he is the one one that may struggle Batman and Superman. He’s like, ‘What?! Lobo? No, he isn’t on this universe.’ I used to be like, ‘What? Who the hell am I supposed to play?’ Man, I want I might have taped it, as a result of he was like ‘Aquaman.’ I used to be like, ‘What the f**okay are you speaking about.'”
You really couldn’t ask for a better response to an actor being cast as Aquaman, “What the f**k are you talking about?” That made me laugh.
Anyway, Momoa’s time as Aquaman is coming to an end with Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, and after that he will finally be playing Lobo, a role that he wanted from the very beginning, and it’s a role that he’s going to be awesome in. When talking about Lobo, the actor said:
“So, Lobo… I used to acquire comics and I do not accomplish that a lot anymore, however he was all the time my favourite. And I’ve all the time wished to play Lobo as a result of I’m like, ‘Hello?,’ It’s fairly good. It’s the right position. I imply, pay attention, in the event that they name me and ask me to play it? It’s a f**okay yeah. But, I imply, that is a assure. So, you do not have to fear about that.”
Are you trying ahead to seeing Momoa play Lobo in James Gunn’s DCU?
