OPINION: This article may contain commentary which reflects the author's opinion.
Jason Momoa, known to DC fans for his role as Aquaman, recently left fans buzzing with a near glimpse of his transformation into the DC Universe’s antihero Lobo. During an interview promoting his upcoming film A Minecraft Movie, Momoa came tantalizingly close to showing a photo of himself fully decked out as the intergalactic bounty hunter, only to be stopped at the last second by his agent.
This brief moment of almost-reveal has only added to the anticipation surrounding Momoa’s portrayal of Lobo, who is set to make his debut in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. While Momoa only offered a hint, mentioning that he was “painted white all over,” it was enough to spark speculation about the character’s visual style. Longtime fans of the comics know Lobo’s iconic pale skin, dark eye markings, and rough, leather-clad look, and this detail suggests that the filmmakers are staying faithful to the character’s roots.
Momoa has been vocal about his excitement for the role, calling Lobo a dream character he’s wanted to play for years. He first expressed his enthusiasm after being confirmed for the part, noting that Lobo’s larger-than-life personality and wild backstory—he wiped out his entire species, after all—make him a perfect fit. Momoa’s casting also aligns with James Gunn and Peter Safran’s vision for the new DC Universe, where Lobo will be a standout character.
Fan reactions to the near-reveal have been overwhelmingly positive, with many clamoring for an official look at Momoa in full Lobo regalia. While it’s unclear when that first official image will drop, one thing is certain: the combination of Momoa’s undeniable screen presence and Lobo’s unpredictable, chaotic energy has audiences eagerly awaiting his next move in the DC Universe.
