Jason Momoa Set to Play Lobo in SUPERGIRL: WOMAN OF TOMORROW
Jason Momoa is officially returning to the DC Cinematic Universe, but this time he will be taking on the role of Lobo. It was also revealed that Lobo will make his debut in Supergirl: Woman Of Tomorrow.
Momoa confirmed the news on Instagram by sharing a past quote from an interview with Fandango during the press tour for Aquaman 2.
“So Lobo was… 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.
“I mean, listen. If they call and ask me to play him, it’s a f*ck 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.”
That came with the caption: “They called.” Variety is the outlet reporting that he will appear in the Supergirl movie.
We’ve been hearing that Momoa would be play Lobo in James Gun’s DCU for years. Now, it’s just been made official.
Last year it was reported: “It is true — Jason Momoa is Lobo. Done. Jason Momoa has been cast as Lobo, and that will be officially announced most likely…”
Momoa is a perfect actor to play Lobo, who is a ruthless and unapologetic intergalactic bounty hunter known for his extreme violence, dark humor, and over-the-top personality.
The character was created by Roger Slifer and Keith Giffen and his debuted in Omega Men #3 in 1983 as a satirical response to the hyper-masculine, gritty characters popular in the 1990s.
A Czarnian with superhuman strength, durability, and regenerative abilities, Lobo is virtually unstoppable and often hired to hunt down the most dangerous criminals across the galaxy.
Despite his brutal methods and morally questionable antics, he operates by a personal code of honor: he always keeps his word.
Are you excited about Momoa taking on the role of Lobo and starring alongside Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El/Supergirl, Eve Ridley as Ruthye Marye Knoll, and Matthias Scoenaerts as the film’s villain, Krem of the Yellow Hills.
