Jason Momoa Lobo Debut Confirmed in New Supergirl 2026 Teaser

"Finally." That's the word Jason Momoa used to describe his long-awaited transition into the role of Lobo. On January 23, 2026, DC Studios co-head James Gunn shattered the internet by dropping a brand-new teaser for the upcoming Supergirl film, giving fans their first official look at Momoa as the cigar-chomping, motorcycle-riding galactic bounty hunter.

Momoa's casting isn't just a studio decision; it's the fulfillment of a personal crusade. Despite his success as Aquaman, the actor has lobbied for Lobo for years. Peter Safran revealed that when the new DC leadership was announced, Momoa immediately sent an all-caps text reading "LOBO" followed by 10 exclamation marks. The role fits Momoa’s real-life biker persona like a glove, and in the teaser, he leans into the character's signature crude humor and fiery presence.

Directed by Craig Gillespie and starring Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El, the film follows a 21-year-old Supergirl on a cosmic journey of revenge and self-discovery.
