Jason Momoa, known for his role as Aquaman in the now-defunct DC Extended Universe (DCEU), is set to bring the iconic character Lobo to life in the upcoming DC Universe (DCU) film, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, slated for release in June 2026. Lobo, an alien interstellar mercenary and bounty hunter from the planet Czarnia, boasts superhuman strength and immortality. Created by Roger Slifer and Keith Giffen, Lobo first appeared in Omega Men #3 in 1983 and is the last survivor of his now-dead world, much like Superman.
Momoa, who has expressed that Lobo is his favorite comic book character, is thrilled to take on the role, citing aesthetic similarities between himself and the character. In a recent interview with ScreenRant, Momoa teased fans with a glimpse of what to expect from Lobo's appearance in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. He mentioned being nervous yet excited about the role, emphasizing the character's rough and gruff nature, and hinted at the cool design of Lobo's bike. However, he clarified that Lobo's screen time will be brief, as the film primarily focuses on Supergirl.
In January, DC co-chief James Gunn shared the first photo of Milly Alcock as Supergirl, though it didn't reveal much about the character. Gunn announced on Bluesky that filming had begun for Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, which stars Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El aka Supergirl. The movie draws heavily from 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 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, set to hit theaters this summer. The DCU's Clayface movie is scheduled for release in September 2026.
