2023 may have been a great year for games, but it’s been a tumultuous year for the games industry. An astonishing number of studios have been hit with layoffs over the last few months, and recently, it was confirmed that Destiny 2 developer Bungie had joined that list, amidst delays to both Destiny 2: The Final Shape and Marathon.

After lots of rumors and speculation, it sounds like Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom star Jason Momoa is locked in to play the DC character .
As part of yesterday’s episode of The Hot Mic podcast, industry insider Jeff Sneider revealed that Momoa has been cast as Lobo and that an official announcement about the casting will be made near the start of 2024.
“It is true — Jason Momoa is Lobo. Done,” Sneider confirmed. “Jason Momoa has been cast as Lobo, and that will be officially announced most likely … I would say around February. It has nothing to do with the strike — it has to do with Aquaman. So Aquaman’s got to do theaters, and then it’ll be on Max … after it’s on Max and has played for a week or two on Max or whatever, I think in February — maybe March at the latest — you’re going to get an announcement about Momoa as Lobo — especially if he’s part of the Superman cast.”
You can check out the new episode of The Hot Mic on YouTube below:
As far back as last December, Momoa was rumored to be assuming the role of DC’s wild interstellar bounty hunter. As the DC Universe is rebooted after this year’s film The Flash, it’s suggested that Momoa would no longer be playing Arthur Curry/Aquaman and would instead switch over to the role of Lobo.
