Jason Momoaprotagonist of Aquamanwill continue in the DC universe. The actor will appear in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow as Lobo, the alien bounty hunter who first appeared in the comics in 1983.
Momoa was the face of the Aquaman franchise for the previous DC universe, appearing as Aquaman in a cameo in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) before starring Justice League (2017) and then top the list of Aquaman 2018. The film was a massive success, grossing $1 billion and marking the high point for DCEU films, which ended with Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom from last year. That last film was a disappointment, grossing only $439 million and failing with critics.
Jason Momoa’s desire to play Lobo
Momoa has always wanted to play the character and has talked about it for years, even during press rounds for The Lost Kingdom. On Monday, the actor shared a quote from that press tour in which he stated that he hoped DC would call him about the role. He captioned the quote on Instagram with “they called.”.
There have been several attempts to bring Lobo to the big screen over the years. Filmmakers like Guy Ritchie and Brad Peyton They launched into the adventure, with Dwayne Johnson hanging around for Peyton’s version. In 2018, Warner Bros. and Michael Bay They also flirted with the idea, but the concept never took off. On the small screen, Emmett J. Scanlan He played Lobo in the SyFy series Krypton.
Writer Roger Slifer and artist Keith Giffen created Lobo for the comic Omega Men No. 3. The blue-skinned, cigar-chomping alien has super strength and healing powers, and has battled heroes and villains.
Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow will hit theaters on June 26, 2026 and will star Milly Alcock like heroin. It will be the second film in the new DC Universe supervised by the heads of DC Studios, James Gunn and Peter Safran, and the Superman movie directed by Gunn will arrive in July.
The choice of Momoa is worth highlighting. When Gunn and Safran took over the DC brand, they left the door open for fan-favorite actors from the previous regime to stay on, possibly as different characters. Momoa is the first to continue, albeit in a new role. Momoa starred in Justice League alongside Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Ezra Miller and Ray Fisher.
