Jason Momoa has formally swapped his trident for a cigar, moving into the part of the interstellar bounty hunter, Lobo, in an upcoming DC film. The news of Momoa’s casting in the Milly Alcock-led “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow” has fans excited about how well he fits the role. If his recent social media post expressing his excitement over the job offer is any clue, Momoa seems eager to play the Main Man, and one director is already campaigning for a standalone film. Frankly, I can easily imagine this happening.
It’s not just fans excited by the 45-year-old Dune actor lacing up his astral bounty-hunting leather boots. Director David Leitch, known for his work on Deadpool 2 and Bullet Train, jumped into Momoa’s Instagram comments with an intriguing pitch. It seems the filmmaker has his sights set on bringing a Lobo solo film to life—and after hearing his enthusiasm, I can’t help but hope this dream project becomes a reality. He wrote:
Is Jason Momoa and David Leitch teaming up for a Lobo solo film? Exciting news, I’m on board! It’s a tale we’ve been destined to share! This character fits you like a glove. 🔥🔥🔥
It’s clear why the director of the “Fall Guy” finds Lobo appealing, as his brash humor, excessive violence, and nonchalant demeanor align perfectly with the director’s creative approach. Leitch excels at integrating intense action scenes with clever comedy, demonstrated by his successful portrayal of characters such as Deadpool on the silver screen. Matching him with Jason Momoa’s captivating energy could prove to be a shrewd decision for a standalone movie.
Back in the ’80s, I discovered Lobo while exploring the world of comics – this cosmic bounty hunter was quite the novelty, a playful jab at the trend of grim, edgy, and ultra-violent characters dominating the scene. To my surprise, instead of being written off as satire, readers embraced him wholeheartedly, propelling Lobo to stardom amongst DC’s iconic cast. By the ’90s, this character who had once been a villainous figurehead transformed into an antihero. Despite his name literally meaning “he who devours your entrails and revels in it,” he gained a loyal fanbase, much like Marvel’s Venom – striking a delicate balance between his antagonistic nature and headlining his own comic series.
Jason Momoa is ecstatic about his role, as he’s openly expressed his wish to portray the Main Man. His raw charm and David Leitch’s knack for stylish action could result in a distinctive, unabashedly wild addition to James Gunn’s DCU Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters, making it a dream come true for both the actor and the audience.
Anticipation mounts as spectators eagerly look forward to the release of “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow” on June 26, 2026. The prospect of a solo “Lobo” movie further fuels excitement for the DCU’s upcoming projects. Although no concrete plans have been disclosed, the hint dropped by the director of “Atomic Blonde” suggests a strong creative intent. With Gunn and Peter Safran spearheading the DC Universe, anything seems feasible.
For now, Jason Momoa’s supporters can reminisce about his DC roles as Aquaman by streaming his movies and Justice League on Max, or catch his latest exploits as Lobo when Supergirl returns to our screens. It’s also possible that we could witness the Last Czarnian causing havoc across the galaxy in David Leitch’s upcoming film sooner than expected.
