Jason Momoa Hints at Lobo's Role in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow: 'Looks Spot On'

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

Momoa, who has expressed that Lobo is his favorite comic book character, shared his excitement and nervousness about taking on the role in an interview with ScreenRant. He hinted at a brief but impactful appearance in the film, emphasizing the character's rough and gruff nature, and even teased the cool design of Lobo's bike. "Well, this is the role I've always wanted to play," Momoa stated, adding, "It’s kind of a no-brainer to play this character. It's pretty big. I don't want to give away too much, but I mean, we look pretty dead on, exactly like the character."

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow will also star Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl, with the film drawing heavily from the graphic novel by Tom King, Bilquis Evely, and Ana Norgueira. The story follows 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 is rounded out by David Krumholtz as Supergirl's father Zor-El and Emily Beecham as her mother.

In January, DC co-chief James Gunn shared the first photo of Milly Alcock as Supergirl on Bluesky, marking the start of filming. Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is the second film in the new DCU, following Gunn's Superman set to hit theaters this summer, with the DCU Clayface movie scheduled for September 2026.

Momoa's brief but anticipated appearance as Lobo in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow promises to be a thrilling addition to the DCU, offering fans a glimpse of the character he has long admired and wanted to portray.
