Aquaman’s Jason Momoa to Officially Join the DCU as Lobo in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow
From the king of Atlantis to an interstellar mercenary and bounty hunter.
Aquaman’s Jason Momoa will officially be joining the DCU as Lobo in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.
As reported by Deadline, Momoa has been rumored to play Lobo for quite some time and has even publicly shared how excited he would be to play the character. Today, he confirmed on Instagram that it was finally happening.
“They called,” Momoa wrote on Instagram alongside some old comments of his about his wish to play Lobo, in which he said he was just waiting for the invitation.
“So Lobo was… I collect comics, and I don’t do so much anymore, but he was always my favorite, and I always wanted to play Lobo, because I’m like, ‘Hello? It’s the perfect role,'” Momoa said in the past. “I mean, listen. If they call and ask me to play him, it’s a f*ck 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.”
For those unfamiliar, Lobo was created by Roger Slifer and Keith Giffen and first appeared in Omega Men #3 in 1983. His home is a planet called Czarnia and he is a interstellar mercenary and bounty hunter with superhuman strength and immortality.
With this casting and the recent Superman trailer, we’re starting to get a clearer picture of what James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DCU is all about. We have a ways to go still, but every new detail is welcome!
