Aquaman star Jason Momoa is staying in the DC fold. The actor will appear in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow as Lobo, the alien bounty hunter who first appeared in the comics in 1983, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.

Momoa was the face of the Aquaman franchise for the previous DC regime, appearing as Aquaman in a cameo in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) before starring in Justice League (2017) and then toplining 2018’s Aquaman. The feature was a massive hit, earning $1 billion and marking the high point for the DCEU films, which ended with last year’s Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. That final film was a letdown, earning just $439 million and failing with critics.

Momoa has long wanted to play the character and has talked about it for years, including during the press rounds for The Lost Kingdom. On Monday, the actor shared a quote from that press tour in which he stated he hoped DC would call him about the role. He captioned the quote on Instagram with, “they called.”

There have been various attempts to bring Lobo to the big screen over the years. Filmmakers such as Guy Ritchie and Brad Peyton both took stabs, with Dwayne Johnson circling the roll for Peyton’s version. In 2018, Warner Bros. and Michael Bay also flirted with the idea, but the concept never got off the ground. On the small screen, Emmett J. Scanlan played Lobo on the SyFy series Krypton.

Writer Roger Slifer and artist Keith Giffen created Lobo for the comic Omega Men No. 3. The blue skinned, cigar chomping alien has superstrength and healing powers, and has fought both heroes and villains.

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow arrives in theaters June 26, 2026 and stars Milly Alcock as the hero. It will be the second feature in the new DC Universe overseen by DC Studios bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran, with Gunn’s Superman movie arriving in July.

Momoa’s casting is noteworthy. When Gunn and Safran took over the DC brand, they left the door open for fan favorite actors from the previous regime to stay in the fold, possibly as different characters. Momoa is the first to continue on, albeit in a new role. Momoa starred opposite Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Ezra Miller and Ray Fisher in Justice League.
