Whether the DC submarine reappears in the DCU anytime soon could also look heavily on howAquaman and the Lost Kingdomperforms both critically and financially , as the winner of the firstAquamandid initially hint that Jason Momoa would stay in the use . It is also possible that DC Studios may want to look to do any task for Aquaman and focus on other DC characters who did n’t have as much exposure as Momoa ’s Heron did throughout his run . Since the actor is also said to be playing a new character in the DC Universe , having some distance from Aquaman may be DC Studios ' way of wanting to make it exonerated to the audience that his version of Aquaman is n’t part of this franchise .
A popular DCU theory is that Momoa , afterAquaman and the Lost Kingdom , will be play Lobo in Gunn ’s DC Universe .
