Jason Momoa cast as Lobo in “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow”
After what seems like years of rumors and fancasting, it’s finally official: Jason Momoa has gone from playing Aquaman to the Main Man.
Momoa himself has confirmed that he has been tapped to portray Lobo in the new cinematic DC Universe, with an Instagram post that has the simple caption of “they called.”
Deadline have verified that the Czarnian bounty hunter/anti-hero/lover of space dolphins will appear alongside Milly Alcock’s Supergirl in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, though considering he did not appear in the comic of the same name it is not clear how he will factor into the story.
Then again, plot details for the film are scarce for now, with hardly more than cast and crew announcements coming out up to this point.
Given the plot of the comic– from writer Tom King, artist Bilquis Evely, colorist Matheus Lopes, and letterer Clayton Cowles– it would be fairly easy to plug in a character like Lobo, who plies his trade by hunting bounty all across the universe. Stay tuned to Batman News for more details as we hear them.
Milly Alcock has been cast as Supergirl, Eve Miller as Ruthye Mary Knolle, and Matthias Schoenaerts as the villain Krem of the Yellow Hill.
Craig Gillespie will be directing.
The film is scheduled to hit theaters on June 26, 2026, just under a year after Supermanhits on July 11, 2025. Filming on Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is expected to kick off in early 2025.
