Jason Momoa Hints at Lobo's Appearance in 'Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow'

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

Momoa, who has expressed that Lobo is his favorite comic book character, shared his excitement about taking on the role during an interview with ScreenRant. He mentioned the aesthetic similarities between himself and the character, stating, "Well, this is the role I've always wanted to play... That’s the comic I loved, so I'm really nervous about it. 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, and he’s pretty rough and gruff and… I'll say the bike’s really cool."

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

When asked about Lobo's screen time in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, Momoa indicated that his appearance would be brief, saying, "It’s her movie, so it's great. I just come in for a little bit."

In January, DC co-chief James Gunn shared the first photo of Milly Alcock as Supergirl on *Bluesky*, marking the start of production for the film. *Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow* is heavily inspired by the graphic novel of the same name by Tom King, Bilquis Evely, and Ana Norgueira. The story follows an alien girl named Ruthye Marye Knoll, who enlists Supergirl's help to seek revenge for her father's murder by the villain Krem of the Yellow Hills.

The cast for the film includes Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem, Eve Ridley as Ruthye, David Krumholtz as Supergirl's father Zor-El, Emily Beecham as Supergirl's mother, and Jason Momoa as Lobo.

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is slated for release in June 2026, following the premiere of James Gunn's Superman this summer. The DCU's Clayface movie is scheduled to follow in September 2026.
