Jason Momoa Teases Lobo’s Debut in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow: 'We Look Pretty Dead On'

Jason Momoa, known for his role as Aquaman in the now-defunct DC Extended Universe (DCEU), is set to make a thrilling transition to the rebooted DC Universe (DCU) with his portrayal of Lobo in the upcoming film "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow," slated for release in June 2026. Lobo, a character created by Roger Slifer and Keith Giffen, first appeared in Omega Men #3 in 1983. This alien interstellar mercenary and bounty hunter from the planet Czarnia boasts superhuman strength and immortality, and is the last survivor of his world, much like Superman.

Momoa's excitement about taking on the role of Lobo is palpable. He has openly shared that Lobo is his favorite comic book character, and he feels a strong connection due to their aesthetic similarities. In a conversation with ScreenRant, Momoa expressed his enthusiasm and nervousness about the role, hinting that fans will see a faithful representation of the character, complete with Lobo's signature rough and gruff demeanor and a notably cool bike. However, he emphasized that his screen time would be limited, stating, "It’s her movie, so it's great. I just come in for a little bit."

"Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow" marks the second installment in the new DCU, following James Gunn's "Superman" set to hit theaters this summer. The film, inspired by the graphic novel by Tom King, Bilquis Evely, and Ana Norgueira, will focus on a standalone story involving an alien girl named Ruthye Marye Knoll, played by Eve Ridley, who seeks Supergirl's help to avenge her father's murder by the villain Krem of the Yellow Hills, portrayed by Matthias Schoenaerts. The cast also includes David Krumholtz as Zor-El, Supergirl's father, and Emily Beecham as her mother.

In January, DC co-chief James Gunn shared the first photo of Milly Alcock as Supergirl on Bluesky, signaling the start of production. While the image didn't reveal much, it generated significant buzz for the film. The DCU's lineup continues with the "Clayface" movie scheduled for September 2026, promising an exciting future for DC fans.

From Aquaman to Lobo, Jason Momoa is crossing DC universes.
