Jason Momoa has officially traded his underwater trident for a space bike and a cigar. That’s right—our favorite man from Atlantis is now gearing up to play Lobo, the galaxy’s most metal bounty hunter, in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. Prepare for chaos, because this movie hits theaters on June 26, 2026, and Momoa as Lobo is about to make waves—er, cosmic tsunamis.
From Aquaman to Intergalactic Menace
Last year, whispers started swirling faster than Aquaman’s whirlpool that Jason, 45, might be taking on the role of the DC antihero Lobo. While we were all busy speculating, Jason was out here playing coy, claiming he hadn’t even been asked to audition. Fast forward to today, and Jason just dropped the mic—or his surfboard—by confirming on Instagram that he’s officially in. Oh, the drama!
Throwback to Jason’s Denial Game
Let’s rewind to 2023. When the Lobo rumor first surfaced, Jason went full denial mode, telling everyone, “I haven’t gotten the call.” But here’s the kicker: he low-key spilled how much he loved Lobo back then. He gushed, “I used to collect comics, and Lobo was my favorite. I mean, hello? It’s perfect. If they call me, it’s a big fat ‘heck yeah.’ But I haven’t received that call yet.”
Well, guess what? That phone call must’ve finally come, and Jason answered with an enthusiastic “F*** yeah!”
Instagram Tea: “They Called”
Jason’s Instagram post today? Iconic. He shared his quote from last year about his dream of playing Lobo and casually captioned it, “They called.” Short, sweet, and dripping with “I told you so” energy. Momoa fans are losing their minds in the comments, with most saying something along the lines of, “Finally!” or “Lobo was born to be you!”
Who Is Lobo, Anyway?
For those living under a rock (or in Atlantis), Lobo is the DC Universe’s rowdiest bad boy. He’s an intergalactic bounty hunter with a face that screams “trouble” and a personality to match. He’s also the last of his kind, the Czarnian race, because—plot twist—he wiped out the rest of his species. Charming, right? Known for his rapid regeneration and “colorful” vocabulary, Lobo is less “villain” and more “your worst nightmare with a sense of humor.”
Supergirl and Space Mayhem Await
Lobo will make his big debut in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, with the talented Milly Alcock starring as Supergirl herself. Picture this: Momoa’s Lobo zooming across the galaxy, throwing shade, cracking skulls, and maybe—just maybe—bonding with Supergirl over their mutual disdain for intergalactic nonsense. It’s a match made in comic book heaven.
So, mark your calendars, stock up on popcorn, and get ready for Jason Momoa to unleash his inner space punk. June 2026 can’t come soon enough!
