Get ready to be blown away, because Jason Momoa’s transformation into Lobo in the upcoming Supergirl movie is nothing short of jaw-dropping. But here’s where it gets controversial: does this comic-accurate portrayal feel too much like cosplay, or is it the perfect embodiment of the DCU’s Main Man? Two brand-new promo posters have just dropped, giving fans an even closer look at Momoa’s rugged, larger-than-life interpretation of the character. And let’s be honest—it’s hard to deny that he looks like he’s leaped straight off the pages of a comic book.
Earlier today, DC Studios unveiled a new TV spot (https://comicbookmovie.com/supergirl/supergirl-james-gunn-officially-reveals-jason-momoas-lobo-in-new-teaser-for-the-movie-a226082) that finally showcased Momoa’s Lobo in all his glory. The posters now double down on that reveal, offering a detailed glimpse at the character’s design and Momoa’s commitment to the role. While some might argue that his previous stint as Arthur Curry in the DCEU (from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice to The Flash) could overshadow this performance, fans have long championed Momoa as the ideal choice to bring Lobo to life. And this is the part most people miss: beyond the visuals, the real test will be how Momoa embodies Lobo’s chaotic, irreverent personality on screen.
The character’s role in Supergirl is rumored to be an extended cameo, but expect his scenes to be packed with action. Speaking of action, director Craig Gillespie shared fascinating insights last year about filming the movie’s high-octane sequences. ‘We had about six or seven weeks dedicated purely to stunts,’ he recalled. ‘My stunt coordinator joked that we had eight miles of cable on set—something he’d never seen before.’ Gillespie also highlighted how the film’s emotional beats influenced the fight scenes, with the camera work shifting from messy and aggressive to fluid and dynamic depending on Supergirl’s state of mind.
Supergirl, set to hit theaters worldwide on June 26, 2026, stars Milly Alcock in the dual role of Supergirl/Kara Zor-El. The film follows Kara as she reluctantly teams up with an unlikely ally to confront a ruthless adversary in an epic interstellar quest for justice. With a star-studded cast including Matthias Schoenaerts, Eve Ridley, and Momoa himself, the movie promises to be a thrilling addition to the DCU. But here’s the question: will Momoa’s Lobo steal the show, or will Supergirl’s journey remain the heart of the story? Let us know your thoughts in the comments—this is one debate you won’t want to miss!
