Jason Momoa has officially been cast as Lobo in James Gunn and Peter Safran's DC Universe, with the character set to debut in "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow."

The casting fulfills Momoa's long-held desire to play the character. In a previous interview, he enthusiastically stated: "If they call and ask me to play him, it's a f*ck yeah." The actor has been a long-time fan of the character and comic collector.

Lobo, created by Roger Slifer and Keith Giffen, first appeared in Omega Men No. 3. The character is a beloved antihero known for his superstrength, healing abilities, and signature cigar-chomping persona.

While Lobo has appeared in various DC animated series and was portrayed by Emmett J. Scanlan in the TV show Krypton, this marks the character's first major live-action film appearance.

This casting comes after Momoa's run as Aquaman in the DCEU. His first solo outing as the character grossed over $1 billion, though the recent sequel "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom" earned significantly less at $439 million.

Fans can expect to see Momoa's debut as Lobo when "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow" releases in theaters on June 26, 2026.
