Supergirl: Woman Of Tomorrow : Jason Momoa Joins Cast As Officially Lobo

That is a piece of good news!

Let's hope the schedule sticks and doesn't get shuffled around too much. This will largely depend on how the new Superman film will fare in 2025. If it goes well, Supergirl will have a decent shot at hitting the target release date.

Having read the DC Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow omnibus (collection of all SG: WOT issues) recently, I can say that this interpretation will be very much different than the ones we've had on screen so far. The SG: WOT series was enjoyable in comic book format and I can only hope that it translates to the big screen equally well and that not too many creative liberties are taken to dilute the overall product.

In any event, it will be very interesting to see how the final product works out.

I read this miniseries too issue by issue as it came out. Really enjoyed it. Very different take on the character and loved the art.Also liked that it was all set off world on other planets.

Jason Momoa to Play Lobo in ‘Supergirl’ Movie

The actor has long campaigned for the role.

BY AARON COUCH
DECEMBER 30, 2024



Aquaman star Jason Momoa is staying in the DC fold. The actor will appear in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow as Lobo, the alien bounty hunter who first appeared in the comics in 1983, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.

Momoa was the face of the Aquaman franchise for the previous DC regime, appearing as Aquaman in a cameo in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) before starring in Justice League (2017) and then toplining 2018’s Aquaman. The feature was a massive hit, earning $1 billion and marking the high point for the DCEU films, which ended with last year’s Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. That final film was a letdown, earning just $439 million and failing with critics.

Momoa has long wanted to play the character and has talked about it for years, including during the press rounds for The Lost Kingdom. On Monday, the actor shared a quote from that press tour in which he stated he hoped DC would call him about the role. He captioned the quote on Instagram with, “they called.”

There have been various attempts to bring Lobo to the big screen over the years. Filmmakers such as Guy Ritchie and Brad Peyton both took stabs, with Dwayne Johnson circling the roll for Peyton’s version. In 2018, Warner Bros. and Michael Bay also flirted with the idea, but the concept never got off the ground. On the small screen, Emmett J. Scanlan played Lobo on 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 superstrength and healing powers, and has fought both heroes and villains.

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow arrives in theaters June 26, 2026 and stars Milly Alcock as the hero. It will be the second feature in the new DC Universe overseen by DC Studios bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran, with Gunn’s Superman movie arriving in July.

Momoa’s casting is noteworthy. When Gunn and Safran took over the DC brand, they left the door open for fan favorite actors from the previous regime to stay in the fold, possibly as different characters. Momoa is the first to continue on, albeit in a new role. Momoa starred opposite Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Ezra Miller and Ray Fisher in Justice League.

Jason Momoa To Play Lobo In ‘Supergirl: Woman Of Tomorrow’

By Matt Grobar



Jason Momoa, star of Warner Bros and DC‘s Aquaman films, has been tapped to play Lobo in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, Deadline has confirmed.

Momoa has been linked to the Lobo role since before James Gunn came in to lead DC alongside Peter Safran. He’s been vocal in the past about his interest in the part and today confirmed his attachment to the role in a post on Instagram, where he screenshotted comments from a past interview.

“I collect comics, and I don’t do so much anymore, but was always my favorite, and I always wanted to play Lobo, because I’m like, ‘Hello? It’s the perfect role,'” said the actor. Momoa went on to say that should DC come around asking him to play Lobo, it would be “a f*ck yeah.” Alongside the Instagram screenshot, Momoa posted a caption this morning that reads, “They called.”

An antihero known for his violent and irreverent personality, who hails from the planet Czarnia, Lobo possesses superhuman strength, regenerative abilities and an invulnerability that makes him a formidable opponent. Created by writer Roger Slifer and artist Keith Giffen, the character often is depicted as a bounty hunter who enjoys chaos and destruction. He was first introduced in Omega Men #3 in June 1983.

Plot details for the new Supergirl are under wraps. As previously reported, House of the Dragon‘s Milly Alcock landed the title role after a long search, with Matthias Schoenaerts boarding as villain Krem of the Yellow Hill. More recently, Eve Ridley came on to play the part of Ruthye Mary Knolle.

Craig Gillespie will direct from a script by Ana Nogueira. The project is based on Tom King’s 2022 comic book series Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, which Bilquis Evely illustrated. DC bosses Gunn and Safran will produce, with DC EVP Chantal Nong executive producing. Production kicks off on January 13.

Warner Bros and DC naturally are high on Momoa, given that his recent pair of Aquaman films together grossed more than $1.5 billion worldwide. Upcoming, the actor also has Warner Bros projects including A Minecraft Movie, which releases April 4, and the live-action/animated Animal Friends from Legendary. Additionally, he’ll be seen in Fast X: Part 2, the Apple miniseries Chief of War, and Amazon MGM’s The Wrecking Crew opposite Dave Bautista, among other projects.

Momoa is repped by WME and Edelstein, Laird & Sobel. View his Instagram post below.

All I can say is...HERE COMES THE MAIN MAN! Having seen Jason Mamoa's Aquaman as an I don't give a (***) fun loving King of the Seas in Justice League, this role as Lobo was tailor made for him.
