As a lifelong DC fan and avid cinema-goer who has witnessed the ups and downs of the DCEU, I must say that the news of Jason Momoa playing Lobo in the upcoming ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow’ is nothing short of exhilarating!

Over the years, I have followed Momoa’s career with great interest, and his physical resemblance to the character has always intrigued me. Moreover, hearing about his long-standing desire to portray Lobo only fueled my anticipation for this moment. So when he officially confirmed it on his Instagram, I was beyond thrilled!

I have been eagerly awaiting the DC Studios’ reboot under James Gunn and Peter Safran, and this casting decision has only heightened my excitement. The upcoming ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow’ is set to be a science fiction epic, which aligns perfectly with my preference for grand, intergalactic stories.

I can hardly contain my enthusiasm as I eagerly await more details about Momoa’s role and the film’s development. As we approach early 2025 when production will begin, I find myself counting down the days until I can finally witness Momoa bring the infamous Czarnian bounty hunter to life on the big screen!

To lighten the mood, let me share a little joke: They say Lobo’s strength is so immense that he could even lift a car… Well, if he ever gets stuck, I hope Momoa has a strong Instagram password, because he’ll need it to unlock all our admiration and love for his portrayal of the character!

Approximately a year and a half ago, James Gunn and Peter Safran stepped into the positions of Co-Producers and Co-CEOs at DC Studios. In this new role, they unveiled a lineup of films and TV series designed to rejuvenate the troubled DCEU. This development, however, signified that popular actors such as Cavill, Momoa, and Gal Gadot might not reprise their beloved characters in future DC adaptations.

Despite some actors, such as Cavill, shifting to new ventures, there have been persistent whispers since the beginning that Momoa won’t depart from DC or Warner Bros., mainly because he is strongly rumored to portray Lobo. These speculations primarily stemmed from Momoa’s physical likeness to the character and his long-held desire to play him.

Today, the long-awaited news has been confirmed by Momoa himself on his personal Instagram account: He will indeed play the role of Lobo.

As a longtime fan of action movies, I have always admired Jason Momoa for his powerful physique and captivating performances. Having followed his career since his breakout role as Khal Drogo in “Game of Thrones,” it’s no surprise that I eagerly awaited any news about his future projects. When I saw the post featuring a quote from Momoa himself, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation.

The post consisted of a statement Momoa had made in the past, hinting at his desire to play a certain character. The caption read, “They called.” To me, this suggested that he had finally received the call from the studio to take on this role he had been eagerly waiting for. I couldn’t help but imagine what it must feel like for Momoa to have his dreams come true and to finally step into the shoes of this iconic character.

I know firsthand how important it is to follow your passions and pursue your dreams, no matter how long it may take to achieve them. As a fellow artist, I can only imagine the joy and fulfillment Momoa must feel as he embarks on this new adventure. I eagerly await more updates about his role and can’t wait to see him bring this character to life on the big screen.

It’s uncertain which film will mark Jason Momoa’s next appearance, but given past speculation, we can anticipate him playing a role in the upcoming ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.’ This film is slated to be the second produced and the second DC Universe movie to be released, as confirmed by James Gunn.

The movie is already deep in development and is ready to start production in early 2025.

The movie is portrayed as a grand science fiction tale that sets Kara Zor-El (Supergirl), who lived through the destruction of Krypton and witnessed everyone she knew perish, against her cousin Superman, who was nurtured on Earth by caring parents. This film draws inspiration from the 2021-2022 comic miniseries ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow’ written by Tom King and illustrated by Bilquis Evely.

Ana Nogueira is penning the screenplay, while Milly Alcock has been chosen to portray Supergirl in an upcoming DC Universe production, prior to this movie’s release. The film, helmed by Craig Gillespie, will commence shooting in January 2025 and is slated for a June 26, 2026 premiere.
