Jason Momoa Takes on the Role of Lobo in Upcoming Supergirl Movie!

In an electrifying announcement for DC fans everywhere, Jason Momoa has officially been cast as Lobo in the highly anticipated DC Universe, directed by James Gunn and Peter Safran. This surprising yet thrilling transition comes after Momoa’s portrayal of Arthur Curry, also known as Aquaman, in the DC Extended Universe, which concluded with "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom" in 2023.

Jason Momoa had long expressed his desire to embody the wild character of Lobo, an antihero created by Roger Slifer and Keith Giffen. He has often shared his passionate connection to the character, stating, “Lobo was always my favorite. It’s the perfect role for me.” In a candid 2023 interview with Fandango, he emphasized his eagerness to portray Lobo, saying, “If they call and ask me to play him, it’s a f*ck yeah!” Just recently, his Instagram post, captioned “They called,” hinted at this exciting development.

For those unfamiliar, Lobo is not your typical hero – he’s an interstellar mercenary and bounty hunter with a notorious reputation. Originating from an alien planet that he obliterated, Lobo’s villainous thrill-seeking makes him an electrifying addition to the DCU. His complex persona, combined with his imposing presence, makes Momoa a fitting choice for the role.

Momoa's debut as Lobo is set to take place in the upcoming film "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow," which is scheduled for release on June 26, 2026. Directed by Craig Gillespie, known for his work on acclaimed films like "I, Tonya" and "Dumb Money," the movie is based on the popular comic series by Tom King and Bilquis Evely. The film will feature Milly Alcock as Supergirl, Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem of the Yellow Hill, and Eve Ridley as Ruthye.

With such a star-studded cast and an iconic character like Lobo, "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow" promises to deliver an action-packed cinematic experience. Fans of the DC universe and newcomers alike can anticipate a thrilling blend of adventure, humor, and unforgettable moments. Will Jason Momoa's Lobo captivate audiences as his Aquaman did? Only time will tell!
