that's legit a perfect role for him, but I hope this trend of reusing actors within the same universe does not continue.

It's not reusing actors in the same universe. DC is completely resetting with James Gunn's movies. It's not much different than Chris Evans playing Johnny Storm and then later being cast as Steve Rogers in the MCU.
DC completely resets every 5-10 years.
DC completely ~~resets~~ implodes every 5-10 years.
Technically this is the first time ever a DC shared universe has reset. If you count all the different Marvel universes prior to the MCU, they were reset quite often as well.
I assumed they were talking about the comics, which tend to reset the timeline every decade or so. This is contrasted with Marvel comic's floating timeline, which hasn't really reset all that much.
If only I could reset my memories of those shit movies.
It's going to have Lobo? Damn, might actually be worth watching just for that.
It’s a good fit looks wise, but his acting is not so great
Ok sure his acting isn’t Oscar level, but have you read Lobo? This seems like a perfect match for Momoa
...this is a genius edit.
Momoa can do egotistical pretty, but I haven't seen him do outrageous and bombastic boastful, which is what I've always seen Lobo portrayed as.
Did you see him in Fast X? I think it shows a little of the ‘bombastic boastful’ side.
And you’re right, he does egotistical quite well.
I think for me, it’s just seeing him in multiple parts over the years, as well as how he behaves in general both in film and as himself, which gives the sensation that he would be great in the part.
I really think he can pull it off
At least one thing is right in the world
