‘Pretty Dead On’ DCU Star Says Their Supergirl Movie Role Is ‘Exactly Like The Character’ In The Comics

[[{“value”:”

Supergirl will finally arrive on the big screen next year with Milly Alcock playing the titular role. She will be joined by several other characters from the DC Comics and one is very proud of how they bring their character to life.

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is an upcoming superhero movie from DC Studios. The film follows Kara Zor-El, Superman’s cousin, who endured the destruction of planet Krypton. Alcock will make her debut as Supergirl in David Corenswet’s upcoming movie Superman. Meanwhile, Supergirl will also feature Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem of the Yellow Hills, Eve Ridley as Ruth Marye Knoll and Jason Momoa as Lobo. Momoa was part of the defunct DC Extended Universe (DCEU), where he played Aquaman. Momoa starred in two solo films, Aquaman (2018) and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (2023). He is the first star from the DCEU to join James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DCU. Momoa is playing his dream role — portraying Lobo from DC Comics. In a recent interview, he shared new details about his new DC character.

Momoa recently sat down for an interview with ScreenRant to promote his new movie, A Minecraft Movie, which is coming out next month. During the interview, he opened up about finally playing his dream role. “Well, this is the role I’ve always wanted to play. That’s the comic I loved, so I’m really nervous about it. It’s kind of a no-brainer to play this character. It’s pretty big,” Momoa said. The Fast X star was careful not to spoil fans, but he dropped a major hint about its appearance compared to the comics. Momoa said:

Safran previously discussed Lobo’s appearance in Supergirl in an interview with The Nerds of Color in February. He said that its director, Craig Gillespie, was a “great collaborator” when they worked on Schoenaerts’, Alcock’s and Momoa’s looks for the film. When asked when fans would see Momoa’s first official look as Lobo, Gunn said it would not happen anytime soon. “It’s probably going to be a while, to be frank,” he said. Gunn said in another interview that Momoa reached out to him shortly after DC Studios was announced to show his interest in playing the intergalactic bounty hunter. Since that text, Gunn was convinced to give the role to Momoa. When the Justice League star finally announced his casting on Instagram, Gunn commented on Momoa’s post welcoming him to DCU.

It’s not difficult to transform Momoa into Lobo because he looks like him. He has Lobo’s massive physique, towering height, muscular build, long, messy hair and beard, and intimidating presence. Momoa also shares Lobo’s larger-than-life personality and it’s no sweat for the actor to portray Lobo’s sarcastic and no-nonsense attitude with his versatility. Lobo is loud, crude and hilarious. The anti-hero doesn’t care about rules. Momoa has already portrayed the same rebellious energy in his previous projects — as Khal Drogo in Games of Thrones, Arthur Curry in Aquaman and Baba Voss in See.

Lobo is also an intergalactic biker, causing chaos wherever he goes. Momoa shares the same passion and pursues it in his 2024 On The Roam docuseries, where he embarks on a journey across the United States to explore art, adventure and craftmanship using his bike. Momoa was born to play the role, and it’s exciting to see him add fun and chaotic force to the DC Universe. He will surely not disappoint, especially now that he’s playing his dream role.

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow hits theaters on June 26, 2026.
