Main Man: Jason Momoa Is Officially Playing Lobo In DC’s ‘Supergirl: Woman Of Tomorrow’

Now that comic book fans have gotten their first sneak peak at James Gunn’s DC Universe with the release of the trailer for his Superman film, the rebooted films are getting another boost with its latest addition, and fans are rejoicing.

According to Variety, Jason Momoa has officially been tapped to play Superman villain Lobo in DC’s upcoming Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow film. For years, rumors have been running rampant that Momoa would be taking on the role once his ill-fated stint as Aquaman was over. Now, it’s coming to fruition, as aesthcallym the man is basically a carbon copy of the DC villain. Starring Milly Alcock (House Of The Dragon) as the titular character, the film is set to release after Gunn’s Superman: Legacy hits theaters in 2025.

Per Variety:

Craig Gillespie is directing the film, which also features Matthias Schoenaerts as villain Krem of the Yellow Hill and Eve Ridley as Ruthye Mary Knolle. Ana Nogueira (“The Vampire Diaries”) wrote the screenplay based on the run of DC comics by Tom King and Bilquis Evely.

Momoa confirmed the casting news on Instagram by sharing a quote from an interview with Fandango during the press tour for “Aquaman 2” where he discussed his longtime fandom of the character — an anithero known for his violent and irreverent personality.

“I collect comics, and I don’t do so much anymore, but he was always my favorite, and I always wanted to play Lobo, because I’m like, ‘Hello? It’s the perfect role,” he said in the interview. “I mean, listen. If they call and ask me to play him, it’s a fuck yeah. I haven’t received that call, so I don’t want to put any fake news out there, but if they ever call me and ask me to play, or ask me to audition, I’m there.”

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is set to release a year after Superman: Legacy, on July 26, 2026. James Gunn promises it’ll be much different than what they have in store for the Man of Steel come July 11, 2025.

“We see the difference between Superman, who was sent to Earth and raised by loving parents from the time he’s an infant, versus Supergirl, who was raised on a rock chip off of Krypton, and watched everyone around her die and be killed in terrible ways for the first 14 years of her life,” Gunn said last year as he and Safran previewed the first 10 film and TV titles for the new DC Universe.

Looks like DC is finally ready to give Marvel a run for their movie money.
