Supergirl: Woman Of Tomorrow is rounding out its ensemble, and another A-list star just joined the cast. Jason Momoa announced he’s gearing up for a comeback to DC after being cast as Lobo opposite Milly Alcock in Supergirl: Woman Of Tomorrow.
Momoa didn’t hide his interest in playing interstellar mercenary and bounty hunter Lobo in James Gunn’s rebooted DC Universe. He previously said he’d accept the offer to portray this character with open arms, but added he hadn’t heard from anyone about the potential casting – until now.
Momoa announced his casting by sharing a previous quote expressing interest in joining DC as Lobo, and captioned it by writing “They called.” The hardened bounty hunter from the planet Czarnia, Lobo was introduced during the 80s, and Momoa will be the first actor to portray him in the live-action feature film.
In addition to Momoa, Supergirl: Woman Of Tomorrow will also star Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El, Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem of the Yellow Hill, and Eve Ridley as Ruthye Mary Knolle. It’s the second film in James Gunn’s rebooted DC Universe after Superman.
Momoa is no stranger to the DC Universe, having previously played Aquaman in Justice League, Aquaman, and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. He recently appeared in Dune, Fast X, and Slumberland, and will next star in A Minecraft Movie.
