Jason Momoa, known for his portrayal of Aquaman in the DC Extended Universe, is set to bring the fan-favorite character Lobo to life in next summer’s Supergirl film. Fans recently got a glimpse of Momoa’s enthusiasm when he reacted to the debut of the Supergirl movie poster on Instagram, showcasing Milly Alcock’s costume. Momoa’s response cleverly captured the essence of Lobo, using one of the character’s signature expressions alongside a string of rock-on emojis in his comment.
Jason Momoa Channels Lobo in Response to Supergirl’s First Teaser Poster
Momoa’s Instagram comment “Look out bastich,” referenced the tagline used for Supergirl’s promotional material, playing off Superman’s well-known “Look up” phrase. This reaction highlighted Momoa’s anticipation for the film and his dedication to portraying Lobo authentically. Shared on Reddit by user yoj-DC, the actor’s playful response fuels excitement among fans eager to see his take on the character as the movie approaches its release.
Filming Wrap and Momoa’s Brief Role in Supergirl
Jason Momoa completed filming his scenes as Lobo in April, which was about a month before the entire Supergirl project finished production. Although plot details are tightly guarded, Momoa has indicated that Lobo’s part will be a supporting one rather than a lead role. Nonetheless, he continues to express his commitment to depicting Lobo as closely aligned with the comics as possible, emphasizing the character’s distinctive language and mannerisms.
In interviews earlier this year, Momoa shared that he has been honing unique curse words like “bastich” and “fraggin’,” resonating closely with Lobo’s trademark dialogue style. These efforts underline Momoa’s passion for capturing every nuance of the character, promising a memorable screen presence.
Supergirl’s Official Marketing Strategy Ahead of Release
Though Supergirl is slated for a June 2026 theater debut, DC Studios released the film’s teaser poster recently, likely in response to leaks that followed Kara Zor-El’s short appearance in the Superman movie. This poster is expected to be the only official visual reveal fans will receive for some time. Interestingly, DC Studios has chosen not to highlight Supergirl in their upcoming Hall H presentation at San Diego Comic-Con, instead dedicating that event solely to Peacemaker Season 2, which premieres in August.
Fans may have to wait for a later event this year to see a full presentation or obtain further promotional content for Supergirl, keeping anticipation and speculation high regarding the film’s direction and full cast reveal.
Bringing a Fan-Favorite Choice to Life: Momoa as Lobo
Jason Momoa has long been a popular choice among fans to portray Lobo in live-action. His casting has been confirmed as part of a broader plan by James Gunn to incorporate him into the DC Universe, dispelling concerns that his previous role as Aquaman would limit future DC opportunities. Gunn noted that Momoa’s involvement was “always part of the plan.”
Momoa’s passion for the character is evident, and his dedication suggests that Lobo’s portrayal will be authentic and engaging. Given Momoa’s established charisma and screen presence seen in Aquaman and Dune, many expect him to deliver a performance that will resonate with longtime DC fans and newcomers alike.
New Character Dynamics and Story Elements in Supergirl
The relationship between Lobo and Kara Zor-El remains a key point of intrigue, as their dynamic in the film will unfold in ways not seen in the original comic source material. While Supergirl’s movie draws inspiration from Tom King and Bilquis Evely’s “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow” series, Lobo does not appear in that story. His addition to the film represents a significant deviation, introducing a new element that carries both risks and potential rewards.
Despite this change, Momoa’s growing enthusiasm and early reactions to his character hint that the team behind Supergirl is striving for a fresh yet faithful interpretation of the characters, which could enrich the movie’s overall narrative and appeal.
