Jason Momoa Prepares for DCU Lobo Role in the Perfect Way

As a movie critic who grew up in the golden age of comic book movies and has been following Jason Momoa‘s career since his days as Khal Drogo on Game of Thrones, I must say that this news has me more excited than a Czarnian on a Spacehog chase.

Momoa’s long-standing desire to play Lobo, coupled with his raw talent and charisma, makes for an intoxicating blend that promises to deliver a performance as electrifying as the Spacehog itself. The fact that he’ll be stepping into this role in one of DC’s most anticipated projects, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, only sweetens the deal.

While Lobo isn’t originally part of the story, swapping him in for the bounty hunter seems like a no-brainer to me – much like how Lobo himself is a no-brainer when it comes to causing chaos and wreaking havoc. With this new role, we might just see Momoa’s version of Lobo finally team up with Superman, only for them to realize they can’t stand each other any more than a Czarnian can stand a Spacehog on its nose.

All in all, I can’t wait to see Momoa bring this iconic character to life and add another layer to the ever-evolving DC Universe. So buckle up, folks, because it looks like we’re in for one heck of a ride! And remember, if you don’t like it, just tell Lobo – I hear he’s got a pretty short fuse when it comes to criticism.

Jason Momoa is set to join the upcoming DC Studios universe, swapping his Aquaman crown and trident for a biker jacket and a Spacehog, as he assumes the part of Lobo. This news has sparked conversations and anticipation among fans, eager to witness Momoa’s portrayal of this new character. In an Instagram post, Momoa hinted that he’s gearing up for the role in a way that promises to be truly engaging.

On Instagram, Momoa posted a video of himself lounging near a fire while smoking a cigar, and in the background, you could see a script for “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow”. The first page credited Ana Nogueira as the writer, with Tom King and Bilquis Evely listed for the original story. However, what caught attention was the phrase “For Lobo’s Eyes Only” written across it.

In the video, Jason Momoa initially pauses as he begins to read the script, then it halts. However, a subsequent image displays shows Momoa and Zoe Kravitz rejoicing with the script, suggesting they’ve completed a scene. Momoa shared this video and picture on his platform, captioned “BOOM Day 3 of 2025 I AM LOBO #letsfraggingo aloha j”. You can find the video linked below.

For Jason Momoa, the chance to portray Lobo has been a long-cherished dream of his. And now, that wish is becoming a reality. As he shared with Fandango, “I used to be a comic collector and I don’t do it as much anymore, but Lobo was always my favorite. I’ve always wanted to play Lobo.” He further added, “It’s just about perfect. It’s the ideal role. If they ask me to play it, it’s a yes. Without a doubt.

The event is now unfolding, and it’s taking place in one of DC Comics’ most eagerly awaited projects titled “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.” Initially, Lobo isn’t part of the original narrative, but he fits perfectly well. This story revolves around a bounty hunter who is pursuing Supergirl at the behest of Krem. Although it’s not Lobo, it’s relatively straightforward to replace him and create either an initial encounter between him and Kara or a reunion following previous disagreements.

Lobo’s past has been marked by tumultuous relationships with the Superman clan, a fact that resurfaced significantly in the latest House of Brainiac storyline. This plot twist unveiled that contrary to what he believed, Lobo was not the last member of the Czarnian race; instead, an army of Czarnians served under Brainiac. In this predicament, Superman and Lobo found themselves reluctantly working together to defeat these Czarnians, although their partnership was fraught with complications.

In the upcoming cinematic adventure, Lobo and Supergirl will cross paths for the first time, potentially leading to a future confrontation between Lobo and Superman. This epic tale unfolds in Supergirl: The Heroine of the Future.
