Jason Momoa, known for his role as Aquaman, is making waves in the DC Universe once again. This time, he’s swapping his Atlantean trident for a rugged space biker persona as Lobo in the highly anticipated ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow’ movie.
A Perfect Match for Lobo
The actor, 45, has expressed long-standing adoration for the antihero Lobo, which he describes as his “favorite” in the DC Comics universe. In an Instagram post not long ago, Momoa confirmed the role, captioning the announcement with, “They called.” The fans are excited as this news since the actor’s larger-than-life personality and his massive physique appear to be tailored-made for the intergalactic bounty hunter.
Momoa’s interest in the character is not new. In an earlier statement, he had said, “If they ever call me and ask me to play him, it’s a (expletive) yeah. I’m there.” Well, that call has finally come, and Momoa is ready to embrace the gritty, chaotic world of Lobo.
The Character: Who is Lobo?
Lobo, often called “The Main Man,” is a popular antihero within the DC Universe. He’s an intergalactic alien of chaos with the reputation of being the galaxy’s greatest bounty hunter.
According to his DC Comics biography:
- Name Origin: The name “Lobo” translates to “he who devours your entrails and thoroughly enjoys it” in the ancient Khund dialect.
- Traits: Lobo is the embodiment of a biker from a Hell’s Angels-style gang. With long hair, tattoos, and a no-nonsense attitude, he rides his iconic “space cycle,” the Spacehog.
- Personality: A lover of pet dolphins, intergalactic brawls, and a stiff drink, Lobo is unapologetically wild and unpredictable.
As an antihero, Lobo’s loyalty is always based on who can pay him the most or whom he can kill the most bloodily. He has fought Superman, the Justice League, and nearly every other DC superhero out there, which has cemented his status as a formidable character.
A Stellar Cast for a Promising Film
The movie ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow’ is directed by Craig Gillespie and has a great cast:
- Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El/Supergirl: Famous for her breakout role in House of the Dragon, Alcock will bring her talent to the iconic superheroine.
- Jason Momoa as Lobo: The rugged antihero with a penchant for destruction.
- Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem of the Yellow Hills: A complex antagonist adding depth to the storyline.
