Jason Momoa is getting out of the water, but not out of the DCU.

Momoa will appear in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow as Lobo, the alien bounty hunter who first appeared in the comics in 1983. Momoa played Aquaman in the movie of the same name in 2018, and reprised his role in 2024 in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.

Though Aquaman was a bona fide hit, taking in $1 billion, the sequel fared much less well, earning a mere $439 million (as well more than a few bad reviews.)

Momoa has been quite vocal about wanting to portray Lobo, even going so far as to say so in press interviews in which he should have been promoting Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. Monday, he posted a message on his Instagram captioned, “They called.”

The character of Lobo was created by writer Roger Slifer and artist Keith Giffen. Lobo is often depicted as a blue-skinned bounty hunter who enjoys chaos and destruction. He was first introduced in Omega Men #3 in June 1983.

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is scheduled to open June 26th, 2026 and will star Milly Alcock (House of the Dragon) as Kara Zor-El. It will be the second feature in the new DC Universe overseen by DC Studios co-heads James Gunn and Peter Safran. It follows Gunn’s Superman movie, which debuts in July.

Craig Gillespie will direct the movie from a script by Ana Nogueira, and Matthias Schoenaerts stars as the villain Krem of the Yellow Hill. Eve Ridley will play warrior Ruthye Marye Knoll. Though there is no official description, the film is rumored to be an adaptation of the comic book Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, in which Ruthye, an alien girl, asks Supergirl for help hunting down those who killed her father and destroyed her world.
