Jason Momoa Discusses His Role As Lobo In Upcoming Supergirl Film
Jason Momoa has been giving fans a little taster of his role as Lobo in the upcoming Supergirl: Woman Of Tomorrow film, talking about his love to the character and that, originally, he thought he was going to play him back in 2016.
“I have every Lobo comic,” he said to Jimmy Kimmel Live. “He was my favorite. I thought I was going to be playing Lobo when Zack Snyder called me. Because it was Batman vs. Superman, and they needed to have a villain in there.”
Momoa said that he was “surprised” that he was asked by Zack Snyder to play Aquaman in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice and the subsequent Justice League and Aquaman films. Host Kimmel pointed out how similar he looks to Lobo, which Momoa wasn’t shocked by, saying, “Rides a motorcycle, smokes cigars, loves Guinness. I mean, c’mon. Dreadlocks.”
The actor says that Supergirl: Woman on Tomorrow is still shooting, with the film due in cinemas next summer. Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El/Supergirl, with Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem of the Yellow Hills, Eve Ridley as Ruthye Marye Knoll, David Krumholtz as Zor-El, and Emily Beecham as Supergirl’s mother. Craig Gillespie (I, Tonya, Cruella) is directing the film from a script by Ana Nogueira that is based on Tom King and Bilquis Evely’s DC miniseries of the same name, which was published in 2021 and 2022.
The comic’s storyline sees Kara, who happens to be celebrating her 21st birthday, travel across the galaxy alongside Ruthye as they seek revenge for some wrongdoings caused by Krem of the Yellow Hills.
Supergirl: Woman Of Tomorrow is due in cinemas on June 26th, 2026; Alcock is set to make her debut as Supergirl in James Gunn’s Superman, which opens on July 11th.
