Appearing recently on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” Jason Momoa confirmed what the comic-book-movie-loving world had been expecting already. “This is kind of like the end of this DCEU universe, unless, you know, I mean, things have happened before,” the actor said. “There will always be a place for me at DC…They like me.” Whatever that place might be is unknown, but the popular thought is that Momoa could be taking on the role of Lobo in James Gunn’s new continuity. While it might seem like any further installments are an absolute no-go for the dramatically divisive DCEU, one director hopes his past contribution to the franchise will still see the light of day.
Speaking to Total Film in December 2023, original “Suicide Squad” director David Ayer discussed how — much like Zack Snyder’s long-awaited director’s cut of “Justice League” — he has an unreleased version of his own ensemble movie. “It’s coming. Something’s going to happen,” Ayer said. “Something’s going to be revealed. The truth always comes out. It always comes out.” We can wait to see if it ever does, but for now, the cinematic universe it’s a part of has stopped turning, and a brand new one is just about to warm up.
