Finally. <\/p>\n

DC Studios co-chief James Gunn<\/a> shared a new teaser for \u201cSupergirl\u201d on Friday featuring the first proper look at Jason Momoa<\/a> as the villain Lobo \u2014 and it appears the actor is as thrilled as fans are at the long anticipated unveiling. <\/p>\n

In a clip shared on Gunn\u2019s Instagram<\/a>, Momoa is seen exiting his trailer smoking a cigar when he is asked whether he has any comments about playing the character. The actor responds with a grin that shows off his fangs. The video then cuts to footage from \u201cSupergirl\u201d that shows Momoa\u2019s Lobo laughing astride a motorcycle. (Momoa shared<\/a> the same clip.)<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s called making an entrance,\u201d Gunn wrote in his post<\/a> sharing an extended version of the teaser on social media platform X. The 30-second clip includes footage featured in the first \u201cSupergirl\u201d teaser<\/a> with \u201cHouse of the Dragon<\/a>\u201d alum Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El facing various space thugs before Lobo makes his grand entrance. Like the previous trailer, the new one is set to Blondie\u2019s \u201cCall Me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Directed by Craig Gillespie, \u201cSupergirl\u201d will follow the eponymous Kryptonian<\/a> celebrating her 23rd birthday before meeting Ruthye Marye Knoll (Eve Ridley). The reluctant superhero then sets off on a quest to face \u201can unexpected and ruthless adversary,\u201d according to the movie\u2019s logline. The film will also feature Matthias Schoenaerts, David Krumholtz and Emily Beecham. The movie, written by by Ana Nogueira, is based on Tom King and Bilquis Evely\u2019s acclaimed comic book miniseries \u201cSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.\u201d <\/p>\n

Momoa, of course, is no stranger to the world of DC superheroes. The actor previously portrayed Arthur Curry \u2014 a.k.a. Aquaman, the reluctant, half-Atlantean ruler of Atlantis \u2014 in films including \u201cAquaman<\/a>\u201d (2018) and \u201cAquaman and the Lost Kingdom<\/a>\u201d (2023). <\/p>\n

Lobo is a dream role for Momoa, who previously described the intergalactic bounty hunter as his \u201cfavorite.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI always wanted to play Lobo,\u201d the actor told Fandango<\/a> in 2023. \u201cIf they call and ask me to play him, it\u2019s a [definite yes]. … [I]f they ever call me and ask me to play, or ask me to audition, I\u2019m there.\u201d His casting was announced<\/a> in 2024. <\/p>\n

\u201cSupergirl\u201d will hit theaters June 26. <\/p>\n
