We finally have our first look at Jason Momoa\u2019s Lobo in a fresh teaser for DC Universe movie Supergirl<\/a>.<\/p>\n

DC Studios co-CEO James Gun took to social media to reveal the clip, below, which sees Momoa set up a glimpse at Lobo as he will appear in the film.<\/p>\n

Lobo is an alien interstellar mercenary and bounty hunter with superhuman strength and immortality who hails from the planet Czarnia. Like Superman, he’s the last survivor of that dead world. Lobo was created by Roger Slifer and Keith Giffen and first appeared in Omega Men #3 in 1983.<\/p>\n

In the teaser, we see Lobo make a dramatic entrance on his interstellar, flying motorcycle, often called the “Spacehog.” There\u2019s little to go on here, but from what we can see from this teaser, Momoa is perfectly cast as Lobo \u2014 cigar included.<\/p>\n

Momoa, who played Aquaman in the now-discarded DC Extended Universe (DCEU), has said Lobo is his favorite comic book character and has always wanted to play him, pointing to aesthetic similarities between the two.<\/p>\n

Speaking to ScreenRant<\/a> last year, Momoa suggested we\u2019ll get a good look at the character in the movie, but also a fleeting one.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, this is the role I’ve always wanted to play,\u201d Momoa said. \u201cThat\u2019s the comic I loved, so I’m really nervous about it. It\u2019s kind of a no-brainer to play this character. It’s pretty big. I don’t want to give away too much, but I mean, we look pretty dead on, exactly like the character, and he\u2019s pretty rough and gruff and\u2026 I’ll say the bike\u2019s really cool.\u201d<\/p>\n

Momoa was then asked to give an indication of how much on-screen time Lobo will get. He replied to say: \u201cIt\u2019s her movie, so it’s great. I just come in for a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Supergirl itself is due out June 26, 2026. It stars House of the Dragon star Milly Alcock in the title role, and another appearance from Krypto the Superdog \u2014 last seen causing havoc in Superman. Speaking of Superman, Supergirl is a very different movie from the outset, and Supergirl herself is nothing like her cousin.<\/p>\n

IGN attended a press conference last year in which Gunn, Alcock, and director Craig Gillespie talked enthusiastically about Supergirl. During the conference, Gunn insisted Supergirl was a completely different move than Superman, before Gillespie confirmed it takes place entirely in space.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are so different in tone,\u201d Gillespie said. \u201cAnd to be able to really lean into it and embrace it\u2026 and plus\u2026 are we allowed to say this? The whole movie takes place in outer space.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gunn added: \u201cThe outer space thing’s a big part of it because it is a space fantasy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Supergirl is heavily inspired by Tom King and Bilquis Evely’s comic, Woman of Tomorrow, which features a very different Supergirl than audiences are perhaps accustomed to. In July, Gunn said the DC Universe version of Supergirl is \u201ca total mess.\u201d<\/p>\n
