The door to the DC universe is therefore open to actors and actresses from previous versions of the shared universe who competed with the MCU. It’s not surprising really, because James Gunn and Peter Safran never shut them down. Just hearing that Jason Momoa is joining the cast of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.
The actor who played Aquaman from 2016 to 2023 has repeatedly expressed his desire to continue the adventure and even posted a video in which he had a very positive meeting with the leaders of the future DC Universe in terms of his future. By regularly quoting the character he dreamed of: Lobo.
A wish that will come true, as it is indeed an intergalactic mercenary played by Jason Momoa in Craig Gillespie’s film, expected on June 24, 2026. In an interview in which he said “If they call me and ask me to play, it will be a yes.”added: “they called”.
Created by Roger Slifer and Keith Giffen in June 1983, Lobo made his first film debut after appearing in the TV series Krypton. Originally from the peaceful planet Charnia, where his taste for blood had turned him into an anomaly, he became one of the most dangerous hunters in the galaxy when he left it. He is well aided by his superhuman strength, his regenerative abilities, and his invulnerability, making him Superman’s best adversary. And therefore Supergirl.
But Lobo also owes his success to the excess he embodies. From violence to humor (of course bold) and vocabulary, it is the art of living, and its creators, as well as their successors, have never relaxed the exaggeration that has characterized it over the years.
Aside from the looks, it’s easy to understand the reasons why Jason Momoa can easily imagine himself in this role. Especially after the rock ‘n’ roll incarnation of Aquaman, who slid through the sand on a motorcycle as he embarked on his second (and final) solo adventure. “Born Wild”.
So he joins Millie Alcock (Dragon House), Superman’s translator, but also Matthias Schoenaerts, who lends his qualities to the cream of the big bad. At this point, we don’t know what Jason Momoa’s place in the story will be, as he could only be a minor character and then come back to the fore in another movie in the universe.
Likewise, even if she’s not in the trailer, Supergirl will be in the credits for James Gunn’s Superman , which is expected on July 9 and will be the spearhead of the new DC Universe. In which we could see again the actors of the previous version, starring Jason Momoa.
