Fans poke fun as James Gunn shares the text he received from Jason Momoa the day he was hired to run DC

James Gunn, Co-CEO of DC Studios, recently gave us a glimpse into his messages - and let's just say, Jason Momoa, didn't waste any time letting everyone know how he felt. In honor of the anniversary of Lobo, Gunn posted a text from Momoa. We can see in the message Jason Mamon texted Gunn:

"f**kng LOBO"

To which James Gunn replied:

"Dude I've said you should be Lobo for years, no lie."

With rumors circulating about Momoa potentially playing the role of DC's cigar-smoking, space-bounty-hunting tough guy, fans are now more sure than ever that he was destined to play the 'Main Man'. James Gunn took to his social media account posted a glimpse of the message and captioned it:

"On the anniversary of Lobo, I can’t help but think of a text I received from Jason Momoa on the morning it was announced Peter & I were the heads of DC Studios - the day Jason & I first discussed him joining the DCU as Lobo."

As soon as the news came out, someone took to his X account and commented:

"Love to see it!"

One commenter on X made it short and sweet, enjoying the 'Lobo hype' for pure excitement. And honestly, who wouldn't? Jason Momoa as DC's most rough-around-the-edges, cigar-chomping bounty hunter is enough to get anyone pumped. If this casting comes to pass, it's safe to say the internet will totally lose their minds - in the best possible way!

The internet waits for no opportunity, and Jason Momoa + Lobo is the best recipe for fan hysteria. Whether folks are cheering the perfect casting, going wild making predictions, or just along for the ride, the responses are coming in quickly. Let's take a look at the best and funniest responses to this possible DC Universe chaos!
