“And that’s a wrap. God bless our cast and crew, whose commitment, creativity, and hard work have brought this project to life,” Gunn wrote in the caption. “I set out to make a movie about a good man in a world that isn’t always so much. And the goodness and kindness and love I’ve encountered on a daily basis on the set has inspired me and thrust me forward when I felt too spent to move on my own.”

Gunn continued: “Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. It has been an honor. The destination has been Superman, but the journey has been the toil and the laughter and the emotions and ideas and magic we’ve shared together on set — and for that I am forever grateful.”

Gunn posted a photo from the first week of filming in Norway with select cast and crew members, including David Corenswet and Nicholas Hoult.

And that’s a wrap.

James Gunn praises Jason Momoa as Lobo: ‘Can’t wait to share that with all of you’
Jason Momoa holds a mic while sitting down.

James Gunn always believed that Jason Momoa was born to play Lobo.

After nearly a decade of playing Aquaman, Momoa will get the chance to star as the cigar-loving antihero in Gunn's DC Universe. Momoa will first appear as Lobo in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.
On X, Gunn shared a text exchange with Momoa from October 2022, when the Guardians of the Galaxy filmmaker was named co-CEO of DC Studios with Peter Safran. Momoa texted Gunn, "F****** Lobo," to which Gunn replied, "Dude, I’ve said you should be Lobo for years. No lie." Gunn posted the texts along with a photo of Lobo.
“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, Gunn wrote. "I’ve loved watching Jason bring him to life & can’t wait to share that with all of you.”
