Jason Momoa’s look as Lobo has left the internet divided as some of them are saying that this could be one of the laziest casting choices by the filmmaker.

One user commented, “Literally looks like Knowhere, the location from GotG. Gunn needs to change up his ideas abit better because I get what other people are saying now.”

Another user commented, “He's perfect for the part but somehow it still looks silly & underwhelming. I have the feeling that another DCU reboot will be coming sooner than anyone is currently planning.”

Another user reacted, “They couldn't have picked a better actor to play Lobo. All Jason Momoa has to do is where white make-up and his leather biker outfit and he's good to go.”
