Jason Momoa to play Lobo in 'Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow'

Jason Momoa, the star of Aquaman, will continue with DC. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the actor will play Lobo, an extraterrestrial bounty hunter who originally debuted in comics in 1983.

Momoa was the face of the Aquaman series during the previous DC government, making a brief appearance as Aquaman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) before starring in Justice League (2017) and leading the cast in Aquaman (2018). The film was a huge success, making $1 billion and serving as the pinnacle of the DCEU films, which concluded with last year's Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. That finished film was a failure, grossing only $439 million and failing to impress reviewers.

Momoa has long desired to play the character and has discussed it publicly, particularly on the press tour for The Lost Kingdom. On Monday, the actor shared a quote from the press tour in which he expressed his hope that DC will contact him regarding the part. He posted the quote on Instagram: "They called."

Several attempts have been made to bring Lobo to the big screen throughout the years. Guy Ritchie and Brad Peyton both made attempts, with Dwayne Johnson circling the role in Peyton's version. In 2018, Warner Bros. and Michael Bay toyed with the notion, but it never materialized. Emmett J. Scanlan plays Lobo in the SyFy series Krypton.

Lobo was created by writer Roger Slifer and artist Keith Giffen for the Omega Men #3 comic book. The blue-skinned, cigar-chomping extraterrestrial possesses superhuman strength and healing abilities, and has fought both heroes and villains.

Milly Alcock plays as the hero in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, which hits cinemas on June 26, 2026. It will be the second feature in the new DC Universe, helmed by DC Studios' James Gunn and Peter Safran, after Gunn's Superman film in July.

Momoa's casting is particularly remarkable. When Gunn and Safran took over the DC brand, they left the door open for fan favorite performers from the previous administration to return, maybe in various roles. Momoa is the first to remain, although in a different position. Momoa appeared with Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Ezra Miller, and Ray Fisher in Justice League.

‎'Materialists' review: Celine Song's sophisticated rom-com explores dating, wealth and emotional worth in modern NYC

Image
‎At first glance, the trailer for Materialists might provoke concern from fans of Past Lives. Could Celine Song, known for her nuanced exploration of memory and longing, really be behind what appears to be a glossy, conventional romantic comedy? Fortunately, the answer is far more compelling.

'Die My Love' review: Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson descend into madness in Lynne Ramsay's unflinching psychodrama

Image
‎A haunting plunge into fractured minds and broken intimacy, Die My Love marks director Lynne Ramsay’s most unflinching work to date. This Cannes 2025 contender, adapted from Ariana Harwicz’s searing debut novel, stars Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson as a couple unraveling under the weight of rural isolation, postpartum trauma, and decaying passion. ‎ ‎ Jennifer Lawrence in 'Die My Love.' ‎Courtesy of Cannes Film Festival ‎ ‎Ramsay’s filmmaking remains fearless.

'Sirens' review: Ancient allusions and modern power collide in Netflix's latest

Image
‎Netflix’s Sirens, a five-part limited series created by Molly Smith Metzler (Maid), explores mythology through the lens of 21st-century wealth and gendered power. Blending classical allegory with dark satire, the series features a stellar ensemble led by Julianne Moore, Meghann Fahy, and Milly Alcock—but uneven tone and scattered narrative threads leave its potential unfulfilled. ‎ ‎Milly Alcock and Julianne Moore in 'Sirens.' ‎Courtesy of Netflix ‎ ‎Opening with Michaela Kell (Moore) releasing a falcon on a cliff’s edge, the series conjures immediate parallels to the mythological Sirens—half-bird, half-woman creatures who lured sailors to their deaths. The metaphor is rich, but the delivery is often muddled. Michaela becomes a modern-day goddess presiding over Cliff House, an elite seaside estate where servants orbit the whims of billionaires. ‎ ‎Two sisters, Devon (Fahy) and Simone (Alcock), anchor the narrative. Their code word “Sirens” signals emergencies—an ap...
