AceShowbiz - Jason Momoa has revealed that he envisions his DC character Lobo taking on Superman and Batman as the next major opponents in the expanding DC Universe. Momoa expressed particular interest in seeing Lobo face off against Superman before a potential showdown with Batman, highlighting the dynamic possibilities for his intergalactic bounty hunter.
Momoa will debut as Lobo in the upcoming Supergirl film, set for release on June 26, 2026. The film, directed by Craig Gillespie with a screenplay by Ana Nogueira, introduces Lobo in a live-action role for the first time. A 30-second teaser trailer has already showcased Momoa in full costume, capturing Lobo’s signature swagger and growl. The character, created in the early 1980s and popularized in the 1990s for his space-faring exploits and sarcastic edge, is poised to become a prominent figure in the new DC Universe overseen by James Gunn.
Jason Momoa is widely recognized for his roles as Khal Drogo in Game of Thrones and the titular hero in Aquaman. His career spans over 36 credits, including early roles such as Jason Ioane in Baywatch. Momoa’s transition into the DC Universe with Lobo marks a continuation of his superhero legacy, making him the first major actor from the previous Snyderverse to carry forward under DC Studios’ new creative direction.
This interest in Lobo’s battles with iconic heroes underscores the character’s potential to grow beyond his initial introduction in Supergirl. Momoa’s vision aligns with plans for Lobo’s presence to extend across future DC projects, with hopes for an R-rated solo film if audiences respond positively. The development signals a strategic effort to build Lobo’s fan base gradually, positioning him as a formidable and complex addition to DC’s cinematic landscape.
