Jason Momoa Cast as Lobo in Upcoming DC Film

Jason Momoa has been officially cast as the DC Comics character Lobo in the upcoming film 'Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow,' set for release in June 2026. This decision, announced in December 2024, followed a long-standing fan desire and Momoa's own enthusiasm for the role, having expressed interest in playing Lobo for years. James Gunn, co-head of DC Studios, shared that Momoa pitched himself for the role as soon as Gunn and Peter Safran were announced as the heads of DC Studios in October 2022. Gunn revealed a text exchange where Momoa excitedly texted 'f---ing LOBO,' to which Gunn replied that he had always thought Momoa was perfect for the role. The transition from Momoa's previous role as Aquaman marks a significant shift in the DC Universe's direction, focusing more on niche characters. Momoa's portrayal of Lobo, a character known for his chaotic and irreverent personality, has already generated considerable anticipation among fans.
