There’s one thing about being in a comic book e-book film that actually makes a lot of its actors flip into blabbermouths — most likely how insanely cool it’s to be immortalized as an iconic superhero, little question. But Jason Momoa is the most recent to nearly spoil one thing main for the DCU, this time his extremely anticipated Lobo costume within the forthcoming movie Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow — and DCU boss James Gunn actually had amusing about the entire thing.
In a latest interview with Cinemablend to debate his starring function in A Minecraft Movie, Momoa’s function as Lobo got here up as a result of it’s the character’s first look within the DCU, and Momoa’s first look within the new DCU. Naturally, followers are inquisitive about what his look can be and the way it would possibly differ from the character’s comedian appearances, which have him head-to-toe in white make-up. Momoa revealed that he’s “coated” within the movie, however then additionally revealed to the outlet that he had a photograph of the costume on his telephone.
However, the Aquaman star’s publicist shouted “Jason, don’t do it!” from behind the digital camera simply earlier than Momoa might get an opportunity to indicate the journalist the picture. “You have been that near the inside track, bro,” the actor then joked with the reporter, as it might’ve been the primary take a look at the character had Momoa’s publicist not chimed in.
Considering how a lot of a “factor” it’s for superhero actors to spoil issues, it’s no shock Gunn — who is ready to provide the upcoming Supergirl movie — chimed in concerning the incident on social media. “I simply wish to profoundly thank Jason’s publicist,” the filmmaker wrote on Threads alongside a crying-laughing emoji.
