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

Jason Momoa, 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 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. Like Superman, Lobo is the last survivor of his now-dead world, bringing a unique blend of superhuman strength and immortality to the screen.

Momoa has expressed his enthusiasm for the role, citing Lobo as his favorite comic book character and highlighting the aesthetic similarities between himself and the character. In an interview with ScreenRant, Momoa shared his excitement and nerves about bringing Lobo to life, emphasizing the character's rough and gruff nature while teasing the iconic bike that fans can expect to see.

Momoa hinted that while Lobo will make an impactful appearance in *Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow*, his screen time will be brief as the focus remains on Supergirl. "It’s her movie, so it's great. I just come in for a little bit," he stated, underscoring the film's primary focus on Supergirl while still promising fans a thrilling glimpse of Lobo.

In January, DC co-chief James Gunn unveiled the first photo of Milly Alcock as Supergirl on *Bluesky*, marking the beginning of production for *Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow*. The film, set for release in June 2026, draws heavily from the graphic novel by Tom King, Bilquis Evely, and Ana Norgueira. The story follows an alien girl, Ruthye Marye Knoll, who seeks Supergirl's help to avenge her father's murder by the villain Krem of the Yellow Hills.

The cast of *Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow* includes Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem, Eve Ridley as Ruthye, David Krumholtz as Supergirl's father Zor-El, and Emily Beecham as Supergirl's mother. This film marks the second entry in the new DCU, following James Gunn's *Superman* slated for a summer release, with the DCU *Clayface* movie scheduled for September 2026.
