Jason Momoa’s Lobo Debut in ‘Supergirl’ Teaser Sparks Fan Excitement

WASHINGTON (Azat TV) – DC Studios has officially unveiled the first look at Jason Momoa as Lobo, the notorious intergalactic bounty hunter, in the highly anticipated film ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow,’ set for release on June 26, 2026. The reveal, shared by DC Studios co-head James Gunn, generated immediate buzz among fans, offering a glimpse into Momoa’s transformation into the formidable antihero within the newly rebooted DC Universe.

The brief teaser, posted by James Gunn to Instagram, showcased Momoa in full Lobo regalia, riding his signature motorcycle and sporting menacing fangs. In the video, Momoa, cigar in mouth, was asked about playing Lobo, to which he simply responded, “Finally.” The sequence of shots featured Momoa as Lobo set to the iconic tune of Blondie’s “Call Me,” a song also prominently featured in the film’s official teaser trailer, according to *KGFW*.

Momoa’s Transformation into Lobo

Jason Momoa’s casting as Lobo was initially announced in 2024, building anticipation for how the actor, known for his roles as Aquaman and Khal Drogo, would embody the character. Lobo, originating from the planet Czarnia in the DC comics, is characterized by his violent personality and immense power. His abilities include superhuman strength, rapid regenerative capabilities, and near invulnerability, making him one of the most formidable figures in the DC cosmos. The teaser confirms a visually faithful adaptation of the character, emphasizing his rugged and intimidating presence.

The Supergirl Storyline

The film, ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow,’ stars Milly Alcock, recognized for her performance in ‘House of the Dragon,’ as Kara Zor-El, also known as Supergirl and Superman’s cousin. The narrative delves into Supergirl’s dark past and chronicles her journey across the galaxy on a quest for vengeance. The official synopsis describes a scenario where “an unexpected and ruthless adversary strikes too close to home,” forcing Kara Zor-El to reluctantly ally with an ‘unlikely companion’ on an ‘epic, interstellar journey of vengeance and justice,’ *KGFW* reported. This companion is widely understood to be Lobo.

Directing ‘Supergirl’ is Craig Gillespie, whose previous works include acclaimed films like ‘I, Tonya’ (2017) and ‘Cruella’ (2021). The screenplay was penned by Ana Nogueira. Beyond Momoa and Alcock, the cast features Eve Ridley as Ruthye Marye Knoll, David Krumholtz as Zor-El, Emily Beecham as Alura In-Ze, and Matthias Schoenaerts in an undisclosed role. Ramin Djawadi, celebrated for his compositions for ‘Iron Man’ (2008) and ‘Game of Thrones,’ is scoring the film. James Gunn and Peter Safran, co-CEOs of DC Studios, are producing the film under banners including Warner Bros Pictures, Troll Court Entertainment Production, and The Safran Company.

Place in the Rebooted DC Universe

‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow’ marks a pivotal moment for the newly rebooted DC Universe, co-headed by James Gunn and Peter Safran. It stands as the second film in their ambitious cinematic slate, following last year’s ‘Superman’ (2025), which starred David Corenswet in the titular role and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane. Milly Alcock’s Supergirl made a cameo appearance towards the end of ‘Superman’ (2025), setting the stage for her solo adventure and her inevitable interaction with Lobo. The June 26, 2026, release date positions it as a significant tentpole for the franchise’s continued expansion.

The strategic decision to introduce Lobo through Jason Momoa, a recognizable and physically imposing actor, alongside a Supergirl storyline rooted in personal vengeance, suggests a deliberate move by DC Studios to establish a grittier and more complex tonal landscape for its new cinematic universe, differentiating it from previous iterations and leveraging established star power.
