American actor Jason Momoa will stop playing his leading role in the popular Aquaman saga, news that has left his fans and followers around the world in shock.
This revelation also ties in with his co-star, controversial actress Amber Heard, who will also no longer be playing her role as ‘Mera’ in the saga.
Jason Momoa has announced that he will be stepping down as Aquaman and The Hollywood Reporter outlet in the US informed that the popular American actor might be done with the role of Arthur Curry after the release of the long-awaited sequel.
However, there are several sources that are claiming that Momoa would be a “pivotal figure” in the new plans for the DC Universe going forward. Two very contradictory pieces of information with what we currently have for context.
Despite the confusion at the moment, what seems to be clear is that it would not be in the Aquaman saga, even if he would continue appearing in the DCU.
This could explain why Lobo has been advanced both by the current president of DC Studios, James Gunn, and by the actor himself.

It seems that each and every sign points to the same place.
Possibly a new franchise with the Lobo character is coming and Jason Momoa would be the one in charge of starring in that movie.
On Amber Heard’s side, the departure of the actress comes after losing her media trial against her ex-husband, the American actor Johnny Depp, after defaming him by claiming that she was a victim of domestic violence, when in fact, the two f them committed abuse and not only him, as she had initially claimed.
