Jason Momoa debuts as DC bounty hunter Lobo in 'Supergirl' teaser

Jason Momoa debuts as bounty hunter Lobo in new DC Universe film. James Gunn shares teaser. Milly Alcock stars as Supergirl. Release date set for 2026.

"I always wanted to play Lobo, because I'm like, 'Hello? It's the perfect role' - Jason Momoa"

Los Angeles, January 25

Jason Momoa is finally stepping into a new DC character, set to entertain fans as Lobo - the motorcycle-riding bounty hunter in 'Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow'.

DC Studios co-head James Gunn recently offered a glimpse of Momoa's character as Lobo. In the video posted on Instagram, Momoa could be seen stepping out of his film trailer while flaunting his fangs. "Finally," he says in the video before heading to shoot.

The clip further cuts to the actor's unveiling as the anti-hero in the upcoming superhero film.

'Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow', which features Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El, marks a second film in Gunn and Peter Safran's rebooted DC Universe after 2025's 'Superman'.

The first film featured David Corenswet as the Man of Steel and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane. For the sequel, Jason Momoa's casting was announced in December 2024, when the 'Aquaman' star described the character as his favourite.

"I collect comics, and I don't do so much anymore, but he was always my favourite, and I always wanted to play Lobo, because I'm like, 'Hello? It's the perfect role'. I mean, listen. If they call and ask me to play him, it's a yeah. I haven't received that call, so I don't want to put any fake news out there, but if they ever call me and ask me to play, or ask me to audition, I'm there," he said, as quoted by Variety.

Gunn also teased Momoa's performance as Lobo in an X post and wrote, "On the anniversary of Lobo, I can't help but think of a text I received from Jason Momoa on the morning it was announced Peter & I were the heads of DC Studios -- the day Jason & I first discussed him joining the DCU as Lobo. I've loved watching Jason bring him to life & can't wait to share that with all of you."

'Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow' is set to hit theatres on June 26, 2026.

Excited for this, but I hope the story does justice to Supergirl too. Milly Alcock is a great choice, but the focus seems to be all on Lobo. The DC reboot needs strong female leads, not just cool anti-heroes.

James Gunn's DC is looking promising. Superman was good, now Supergirl with Lobo? Interesting combo. Hope they release it in India on the same date. Sometimes we have to wait weeks.

As a comic fan, Lobo is a wild character. Momoa seems genuinely passionate, which is half the battle. The teaser has me hooked. Fingers crossed the final film delivers!

The budget for these Hollywood films is insane. Imagine if our Indian film industry could get even a fraction of that for proper VFX. Still, will watch for the entertainment. Momoa is always fun.

June 2026 is so far away! They're teasing us now? 😅 Anyway, good to have something to look forward to. Hope the story is solid and not just a visual spectacle.
