James Gunn Unveils Jason Momoa as Lobo in New ‘Supergirl’ Clip
DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn has officially introduced Jason Momoa as Lobo in the upcoming film “Supergirl.” This announcement follows a long-standing desire from Momoa to portray the cigar-loving interstellar bounty hunter. Lobo, known for his motorcycle-like Spacehog, has gained significant attention among comic book fans.
Exciting Footage Released
An Instagram video shared by Gunn shows Momoa exiting his “Supergirl” trailer and heading towards his car, cigar in hand. When asked about his role as Lobo, Momoa responded with a playful “Finally.” The clip features quick shots of Momoa’s Lobo character riding his Spacehog amidst explosive action.
Character Accuracy and Story Integration
Gunn’s approach ensures that Momoa’s portrayal remains faithful to the comic book character. In a departure from earlier teasers, which offered a mere silhouette of Lobo, this latest clip gives audiences a detailed look at the character.
“Supergirl” is shaping up to be a significant entry in Gunn’s expanding DC Universe, following the recent release of “Superman.” The film introduces Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El/Supergirl, marking her first leading role after a brief cameo in “Superman.”

Momoa’s Role in the Film’s Narrative
Although Lobo does not appear in the original comic run, Gunn has explained how the character will enhance the film’s storyline. He remarked that “Woman of Tomorrow” comprised several smaller stories, and Lobo provides a unifying arc.
In Gunn’s view, Lobo is a standout character in the comic book world that has yet to fully transition to the big screen. His inclusion in “Supergirl” is set to add depth and excitement to the overall narrative.
Fans can look forward to seeing Jason Momoa embrace the role of Lobo in “Supergirl,” bringing a beloved anti-hero to life. Stay tuned for more updates on this highly anticipated film at Filmogaz.com.
