The DCU’s future just got a little more interesting with Jason Momoa officially being cast as Lobo, DC’s intergalactic bounty hunter.
The announcement, made by Momoa and later confirmed by DC Studios head James Gunn, has ignited excitement among fans. The Aquaman star will first appear as Lobo in Supergirl: Woman Of Tomorrow, which is scheduled for release on June 26, 2026.
Adding fuel to the excitement, John Wick and Deadpool 2 director David Leitch has expressed a strong interest in directing a solo Lobo movie with Momoa.
Leitch reportedly pitched the project directly to the actor. Considering Leitch’s knack for stylish action and irreverent humor, his potential involvement could be a perfect match for the ultra-violent, foul-mouthed antihero.
The road to bringing Lobo to the big screen has been rocky. Directors like Guy Ritchie, Brad Peyton, and even Michael Bay have attempted to adapt the character over the years.
Dwayne Johnson was at one point linked to the role, but none of these projects came to fruition. Momoa’s casting finally makes the long-awaited cinematic debut of Lobo a reality.
In Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, Lobo’s role may be more than just a cameo. According to the comic’s writer Tom King, the story initially began as a Lobo-Supergirl team-up.
“That book began as me pitching a Lobo/Supergirl book. It was my editors, Brittany Holzherr and Jamie Rich, who said, ‘No, take Lobo out and make Supergirl the Rooster Cogburn character.’”
While the comic ultimately focused on Supergirl, it seems the film adaptation will bring Lobo back into the mix.
Supergirl is being directed by Cruella’s Craig Gillespie with a screenplay by Ana Nogueira, and it promises an interstellar revenge quest.
The film follows Supergirl as she journeys across the galaxy with Krypto the Superdog, meeting a young woman named Ruthye and embarking on a mission fueled by vengeance. Lobo’s inclusion as a major player hints at a dynamic clash or partnership between the two characters.
It would be awesome to see David Leitch get to direct a Lobo movie, I have no doubt that he would deliver an epic, over-the-top, intergalactic adventure.
Until then, all eyes are on Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow to see how this new chapter of DC unfolds.
