Minor spoilers for DC Studios\u2019 Supergirl lie ahead.<\/p>\n
When it comes to superhero movies, Jason Momoa holds a sweet distinction, as one of a group of actors who\u2019ve been able to play two prominent roles. Momoa was hired to play Aquaman<\/a> years ago as part of the DC Extended Universe and, in 2024, the fan-favorite actor achieved his dream of being cast as Lobo in the DCU<\/a>. These particular versions of the DC characters do have their similarities, and even their first on-screen appearances are similar. Momoa is also aware of those parallels, and he shared a funny take with CinemaBlend.<\/p>\n The first sighting of Arthur Curry (Aquaman) in the DCEU technically comes in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice via footage glimpsed by Diana Prince. However, his formal debut happens in Justice League and, an early scene shows him chugging down a beer at a bar at an Icelandic village. And, funny enough, Lobo\u2019s DCU debut in Supergirl sees him enjoying a drink at a bar on the planet Bilquis, where he encounters Kara Zor-El and Ruthye Marye Knoll. CinemaBlend had the chance to ask Momoa if the similarities of these debuts were intentional, and he jokingly refuted that notion with a perfect quip:<\/p>\n No. People just like watching me drink beer. And I’m, like, really good at it.<\/p>\n It\u2019s true that Momoa has played plenty of characters who\u2019ve enjoyed a good brew now and then. Superhero movie fans would likely agree with me when I say that the A-lister\u2019s DC characters are particularly strong drinkers. I love this comment from Momoa, because it indicates the level of self-awareness he has when it comes not only to his characters but his own on-screen persona as a whole. Still, the star stressed that he was not responsible for Lobo and Arthur\u2019s beverage choices:<\/p>\n No, that was how it was written. I actually did not put that in there [in] either one. No, no, but .\u2026 I\u2019ll have to play the hell out of it, you know, and I will.<\/p>\n More on Lobo<\/p>\n Kal-El (David Corenswet) looks ahead in Superman, while Lobo (Jason Momoa) rides his bike in Supergirl.<\/p>\n Jason Momoa Thinks He Knows Exactly How Superman Would React To Lobo (Exclusive)<\/a><\/p>\n What we have here is an actor who\u2019s committed to his craft and, with that, he\u2019s found considerable success. In terms of DC, Momoa\u2019s profile rose after Aquaman earned more than $1 billion worldwide following its release in 2018. Momoa subsequently spoke about finding \u201cbaffling\u201d levels of fame<\/a> due to the movie\u2019s success. Still, he\u2019s apparently been able to handle the fame well<\/a>, and what he appreciates is that it\u2019s happening later in life. Momoa is specifically grateful that he\u2019s become busy years after having been able to be with his kids during their formative years.<\/p>\n More recently, Momoa has been revelling in his Lobo casting, and he\u2019s also spoken about the amount of work it took to transform him into the Czarnian<\/a> bounty hunter. As it stands, Momoa seems keen on playing the role for the foreseeable future, though he said he\u2019d only do a Lobo solo film if it were R-rated<\/a>. Momoa also spoke about the prospect of someone playing Aquaman in the DCU<\/a>. While he initially joked about taking that person out, he expressed openness to seeing that recasting.<\/p>\n Regardless of who plays the King of Atlantis next, I\u2019d like to think fans won\u2019t forget Jason Momoa\u2019s take on the character and, so far, fans seem to dig his take on Lobo as well. Here\u2019s hoping the cigar-smoking alien will return sooner rather than later and that he\u2019ll continue to enjoy a good drink here and there. For right now, though, check out his DCU debut in Supergirl, which is now playing in theaters alongside other 2026 movie schedule<\/a> releases. And stream both Justice League and Aquaman using an HBO Max subscription<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission.
