Jason Momoa has officially joined the cast of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow as the iconic DC antihero Lobo. The actor confirmed the exciting news on his Instagram account, sharing a screenshot and captioning it with, “They called.”

In a recent interview, Momoa expressed his enthusiasm for the role, saying, “I collect comics, and while I don’t do it as much anymore, Lobo was always my favorite. I’ve always wanted to play him because, well, ‘Hello? It’s the perfect role.’” He added that if DC ever approached him for the part, his response would be a resounding “f*ck yeah.”

Who is Lobo?

Lobo is an intergalactic bounty hunter and mercenary with a wild, rebellious streak. He’s known for his unrelenting toughness, dark sense of humor, and a devil may care attitude. Originating from the planet Czarnia, he is the last of his kind, but not because of some tragic fate he wiped out his entire race for fun.

He is visually striking a muscular figure with chalk white skin, jet black hair, and red eyes. He often wears biker gear, emphasizing his rugged, outlaw vibe. He rides a spacefaring motorcycle (known as the “Space Hog”) and carries an arsenal of weapons. His personality is a mix of heavy metal rockstar, classic antihero, and irreverent comedian.
