For years, Kevin Feige’s Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has been the backbone of superhero cinema and delivered consistent blockbusters. However, the reign of the MCU might be at risk since the landscape of superhero cinema is bound to undergo a seismic shift with James Gunn bringing in his version of the DC universe.
Recently,John Wickdirector David Leitch showed his interest in directing a potentialLobomovie. Even though Gunn’s DCU’s first project is still a long way from being released, it is already proving to be a magnet for creative talent. This raises the question of whether MCU might be losing to a reinvigorated DCU.
John Wickdirector wants to direct aLobomovie for James Gunn’s DCU
For years DC fans have been wanting to see Lobo on the big screen and fortunately for them,James Gunnis finally making their wishes come true. After showing interest in the character several times in the past,Jason Momoahas been confirmed to play LoboinSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrow(viaDeadline).

Momoa, who previously headlined the twoAquamanmovies and even starred inJustice League, was linked to the role even before Gunn took over the reins of DC. Recently, the actor, in anInstagrampost, posted a short video of him reading the script of the film, which had written ‘For Lobo’s eyes only’all over it.
Replying to his post,John WickdirectorDavid Leitchcommented—Lobo solo movie :)? I’m in JM! It’s a story we were born to tell. This character is all you— thus, throwing his pitch as a potential candidate to direct a potential soloLobomovie.
While the possibility of a soloLobomovie is less, Lobo is a popular DC comics character hailing from the planet Czarnia. An antihero with a violent personality, he has superhuman strength, regenerative abilities, and an invulnerability that makes him an interesting character to bring to live-action.
James Gunn’s DCU might challenge the reign of Kevin Feige’s MCU
For over a decade,Kevin Feige‘s Marvel Cinematic Universe has reigned supreme and poised as a gold standard for cinematic comic book-based storytelling. However, with James Gunn’s DCU on the way, the MCU might be vulnerable and face a formidable challenge to Marvel’s dominance.
so many filmmakers being interested in the DCU is proof that the DCU is going to be exactly what Gunn said he wanted it to bean interconnected universe with heaps of movies, each tonally distinct from one another in accordance to the characters. the MCU but less monotonehttps://t.co/cxS1g0gIcX
Gunn’s DCU has been marketed as a universe with creative freedom and diverse storytelling, qualities that seem to attract high-profile talent, includingJohn Wickdirector David Leitch. With theGuardians of the Galaxyhelmer wanting to create a cohesive universe where each film retains its own unique characteristics, DCU is in stark contrast with MCU, where each detail and element is to be in line with the existing lore.
