Jason Momoa set to play Lobo in upcoming Supergirl movie | Hollywood News
When James Gunn talked about a new DC, he must have been talking about things like this. It has been confirmed that Jason Momoa will play the character of Lobo in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.
Momoa has been a part of the DC universe for quite some time as the ruler of Atlantis. His stint as Aquaman lasted for four movies and seven years, with his cameo appearance in Batman Vs Superman being the first. The first Aquaman film performed well at the box office and replenished hope in the heart of all DC fans. But in true DC fashion, the sequel to the movie couldn’t make a mark at the box office and received lackluster reviews, securing a 33% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

James Gunn has been talking about his new vision for DC Studios for quite some time now. In several interviews, he has reiterated the fact that things need to change if DC wants to compete with other production houses. Recently, DC released the trailer for the new Superman movie, starring David Corenswet as the Kryptonian hero. The trailer paints a picture that seems to be closer to the comics than the other recent versions of Superman, played Henry Cavill.
Jason Momoa announced his new role as the interstellar bounty hunter Lobo through social media, where he shared an excerpt from a recent interview. He said that if they call him to play Lobo, he will definitely take up the role. The caption of the post just read, “They called.”
The Supergirl mantle will now be taken Milly Alcock, and the movie is reportedly going to hit screens in 2026.
