Jason Momoa’s journey to playing Lobo is a well-known story, almost like it was meant to be. He originally auditioned for Warner Bros. hoping to play Lobo in the previous DC movie universe, but ended up becoming Aquaman. When James Gunn and Peter Safran became the heads of DC Studios, things quickly changed. Momoa was officially cast as Lobo in the new Supergirl movie, part of the new DC Universe.
Okay, so remember that tiny glimpse of Jason Momoa as Lobo in the first trailer back in December? It was, like, less than a second! Well, DC fans, hold onto your hats because 2026 is already delivering! DC Studios just dropped a bunch of new videos on social media, and they finally give us a really good look at Momoa’s debut as Lobo in the upcoming Supergirl movie. It’s a thrilling update, and I’m officially excited!
A recent preview shows Jason Momoa as Lobo dramatically arriving on his motorcycle in a fiery scene. He’s smoking a cigar and sporting his signature leather jacket and long hair. The clip then focuses on a close-up of Momoa’s face, giving fans the clearest look yet at the character’s full appearance. Complete with dark markings around his eyes and a touch of blood on his forehead, Momoa also has prominent fangs and a chilling smile that makes Lobo look truly intimidating.
Although we haven’t heard Jason Momoa speak as Lobo yet, this clip gives us the clearest look so far at the character in a live-action DC film. You can watch the complete teaser below.
Jason Momoa’s Expected Impact on ‘Supergirl’ as Lobo
Jason Momoa will appear as Lobo in the upcoming Supergirl movie, though his role is expected to be relatively short. Despite this, fans are excited to see him play the character, as he’s been eager to take on the part for years, and his involvement is already generating a lot of buzz.
Lobo, a character in DC Comics, is a ruthless and powerful bounty hunter from the planet Czarnia, where he’s called “The Main Man.” He’s known for his brutal methods and doesn’t show compassion during his adventures across the galaxy, making him a terrifying figure. Jason Momoa seems poised to capture all of Lobo’s intensity in his new DC Universe role, offering fans a different side of the actor after seven years of playing Aquaman (Arthur Curry) both in his own films and with the Justice League.
