After Peter Safran and James Gunn were named co-CEOs of DC Studios, there was speculation about Jason Momoa’s future in the DC Universe. However, Safran has recently stated that they plan on working with the actor for a long time to come.
In a Men’s Health article featuring Momoa, Safran expressed his admiration for the star, commending his personality and mentioning that he has been collaborating with Momoa for nearly ten years.
For months, rumors of Momoa potentially leaving the DC Universe, or even switching up roles and stepping down as Aquaman to play Lobo have been floating around. While Safran didn’t address those specifically, he did say that Momoa has a place in the DCU “for many years to come,” and if it’s not as Aquaman, it’ll be as someone else.
“I look forward to working with Jason for many years to come,” said Safran. “I would be happy for it to be in Arthur Curry’s world, but if/when another opportunity came up, I’d find another great character for him to create…there are few superhero castings that are more perfect than Momoa as Aquaman.”
Momoa will next appear in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, the sequel to 2018’s Aquaman, which is set to premiere on December 20, 2023.
