If not a surprise, it is good news. Since the abandonment of the old continuity in favor of the new universe DC Studiosthe rumor persists, and many observers saw the change of course coming: having spent a few years in the costume ofAquaman under the orders of Zack Snyder et James Wanthe good Jason Momoa is about to take on a slightly different role. The writing of Deadline confirms that the actor has finally been hired to play the character of Loboultraviolent space biker and great protector of cosmic dolphins, in the film Supergirl : Woman of Tomorrow of Craig Gillespie. He spoke on social networks to validate this natural transition to a role that he had hoped for for a long time.
Jason Loboa!
Big fan of the character, Momoa had actually mentioned this line of thought on several occasions… and took advantage of the replacement of essential positions at the head of DC Studios to rush into the breach. To the extent that the two films Aquaman of the old universe had been produced by Peter Safranthe current co-president of the new structure, it was probably not difficult for him to negotiate this reconversion. On social networks, James Gunn (who also had the opportunity to work with Jason Momoa on the set of the last episode of the first season of Peacemaker) had also suggested that the character of the biker Czarnia would be part of the immediate plans.
Creation of Keith Giffen et Roger Slifer (In Omega Men #31983), Lobo presents himself as a cosmic adventurer who occupies his free time playing mercenaries or bounty hunters in the pay of the highest bidder. Developed as an authentic parody of the muscular heroes of the nineties generation by the great Simon Bisleythe character is generally presented as a laughing and virtually invincible anti-hero, capable of competing with the Kryptoniens in terms of brute force. Incidentally, his appearance corresponds quite well to the physique and personality of Jason Momoa : hirsute, muscular, imposing and eccentric, an authentic role tailor-made for the interpreter of Dante Reyes.
On social networks, the actor published an extract from an old interview in which he explained that he had applied for the role… without result, at least at the time. The post is accompanied by a funny little mention that could be translated as “They ended up calling me.“
With this addition of size, the production of Supergirl : Woman of Tomorrow should now move forward calmly towards the start of filming scheduled for the first half of next year.
The film is expected in theaters in June 2026.
