Jason Momoa Officially Joins James Gunn’s DC Universe, And It’s The Perfect Role

As a seasoned comic book enthusiast and moviegoer who has witnessed the highs and lows of DC’s cinematic universe, I must say that this news about Jason Momoa joining the DCU as Lobo fills me with an unparalleled level of excitement! Growing up, I devoured every single issue of Lobo that hit the stands, and to see my favorite intergalactic bounty hunter come to life on the big screen is a dream come true.

With Momoa’s imposing physique and charismatic presence, he seems like the perfect choice to bring this ruthless alien to life. I can already envision him delivering those iconic one-liners with his signature swagger. Plus, let’s not forget that Momoas’s Aquaman was a breath of fresh air in the DCEU and proved that even the most unconventional superheroes can captivate audiences.

The fact that Lobo will make his debut in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, based on the popular graphic novel by Tom King, is just icing on the cake. I’ve been a fan of Milly Alcock since her stunning turn as young Rhaenyra Targaryen in House of the Dragon, and I can’t wait to see her bring Supergirl to life. Add Craig Gillespie’s directorial touch to this mix, and we have all the ingredients for an unforgettable DC film.

Now, let me leave you with a little joke that I think Lobo himself would appreciate: “Why did the bounty hunter bring a chainsaw to a gunfight? Because he didn’t want to get caught off-guard again!” Let’s hope Momoa brings that same sense of humor to his portrayal of Lobo! Bring on the DCU, I can’t wait to see what James Gunn and his team have in store for us next!

The boundary between the old DCEU and James Gunn’s evolving DCU remains hazy, as elements from the former storylines are being incorporated into the official DCU continuity. For instance, Rick Flag Sr.’s (Frank Grillo) anger over his son’s death in The Suicide Squad, or Peacemaker’s (John Cena) role in the wider narrative, have been carried over. We anticipated more actors from the older DCEU to join Gunn’s universe, and today, Jason Momoa confirmed his involvement. He will portray Lobo, making his debut in the upcoming film Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.

In confirming the news, Jason Momoa – the one time Aquaman – posted on Instagram:

Jason Momoa’s Instagram post features a recurring sentiment he has expressed about possibly portraying Lobo in a DC film for quite some time, when questioned by journalists and comic book enthusiasts. Deadline has confirmed that Momoa will swap his Aquaman trident for the role of Lobo, with his debut set to occur in Supergirl. This character will appear in an adaptation of the well-known Tom King graphic novel, titled Supergirl, which stars Milly Alcock and is directed by Craig Gillespie.

Lobo is a character deeply rooted in the DC Comics universe, making his debut in 1983. Known for his resemblance to Jason Momoa, Lobo’s true claim to fame lies in his role as an intergalactic bounty hunter. He shares some similarities with Wolverine from Marvel, both being notoriously lethal and possessing rough personalities. In fact, they had a confrontation during a rare DC vs. Marvel crossover event. However, Lobo is more often found interacting with other cosmic characters such as Judge Dredd or The Authority.
