The film, inspired by the acclaimed comic series by Tom King and Bilquis Evely, follows Supergirl (played by Milly Alcock) on an intense quest to help an alien girl seek justice. Directed by Craig Gillespie and scripted by Ana Nogueira, this movie is set to introduce a darker tone to the franchise, with Lobo’s unorthodox and brutal methods taking center stage.
Momoa has been vocal about his admiration for Lobo, describing it as his dream role and a perfect match for his larger-than-life persona. Transitioning from the dignified king of Atlantis to the unpredictable and violent antihero signals a new chapter in his DC career. This move aligns with Gunn and Peter Safran’s DCU overhaul, emphasizing unique character portrayals without overlapping roles. Momoa’s enthusiasm and authenticity promise an electrifying take on Lobo, setting the stage for what could become one of the most memorable portrayals in DC’s cinematic history.
