Jason Momoa, widely recognized for his role as Arthur Curry in the DC Universe, is ready to switch gears by playing Lobo, the notorious Czarnian bounty hunter. His first appearance as Lobo will be in the upcoming film Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, where the actor promises an intense, gripping portrayal of the character. Momoa’s excitement centers around this debut and the possibilities it could unlock for the antihero’s future.
Momoa Shares Insights on His Lobo Debut and Prospects
Momoa describes stepping into Lobo’s role as a “pinch me moment,” emphasizing the challenge and energy involved in filming his very first scene. He said,
“I’m pressed to see another actor pull off that first take, what we did. I’m excited to talk about it because it’s hard. And I grabbed it with gusto and I’m very excited about it.”
While his immediate focus remains on this film, he remains cautiously hopeful about what might come next.
On the topic of future projects, Momoa admitted he is not yet aware of concrete plans beyond Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. He stated,
“I only know Lobo’s in this one, and so we’ll see what the future of all that holds.”
Expressing his personal hope for the character’s development, Momoa added,
“I would love for his own thing to be coming out.”
He also highlighted the importance of fan response in determining Lobo’s trajectory:
“I think it’s probably up to the audience and how they feel about it.”
Comparing Lobo to Momoa’s Previous DC Character Experience
Reflecting on his time playing Arthur Curry, Momoa pointed out the differences between the two characters and their respective storylines. He recalled his early involvement as Aquaman starting with just a small idea during Batman v Superman, which expanded significantly by the time of Justice League. Speaking about director Zack Snyder’s approach, Momoa noted,
“it was all pretty mapped out by Zack. He had it all very mapped out.”
These carefully planned narratives contrast with the new, more chaotic energy Momoa is bringing to Lobo.
Potential Impact of Momoa’s Lobo on the DC Universe
Although DC Studios has not yet revealed any official plans for Lobo beyond his introduction in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, the combination of the character’s cult popularity and Momoa’s rising fame could create opportunities for further stories. If fans respond positively, Lobo could become a more prominent figure within the DC Universe, adding a fierce and unpredictable edge to future installments.
