While 2026’s “Supergirl” will contain the first appearance of intergalactic bounty hunter Lobo in a proper live action movie, Jason Momoa \u2014 of “Game of Thrones” and “Aquaman” fame \u2014 isn’t the first\u00a0actor to play the character.<\/p>\n

Lobo made his official live action debut in 2019 on the SyFy series “Krypton,”<\/a> played by\u00a0Emmett J. Scanlan.\u00a0An accomplished TV actor, Scanlan’s resume includes a five-episode stint on the\u00a0BBC historical crime drama “Peaky Blinders”<\/a>\u00a0as Billy Grade,\u00a0a bookmaker\u00a0with a dubious agenda.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

“Krypton” dives into Superman’s family history by focusing on Kal-El’s grandfather Seg-El (Cameron Cuffe). When\u00a0Seg-El and his ally Adam Strange (Shaun Sipos) encounter Lobo, they dispatch him repeatedly by dealing horrific damage, but Lobo simply regenerates after a while and comes back for more mayhem.<\/p>\n

While Lobo \u2014 whose first comics appearance came about in 1983 \u2014 has been a limited presence in live action, animation is another story.\u00a0“Superman: The Animated Series<\/a>”\u00a0introduced many fans to the last Czarnian\u00a0in 1996 with two-part Season 1 story “The Main Man.” Lobo also shows up in “Justice League,”\u00a0“Young Justice,” the 2020 movie “Superman: Man of Tomorrow,” and a handful of other animated projects.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n
