James Gunn shared the new footage of Momoa’s Lobo on Bluesky, and it begins with Momoa coming out of the trailer on set. When he’s asked if he has any comments on playing Lobo, Momoa says “finally”, and then we shift to the movie footage, which shows Lobo riding in on his spacehog with chain in hand. Then we see Lobo pull out a cigar and laugh as the footage ends, and you can check it out for yourself in the video below.
As mentioned above, the footage gives us an up-close look at the Spacehog, and while there have been a variety of interpretations of Lobo’s bike over the years, this version feels like it captures the quintessential elements. The high handlebars and the fire erupting from the engines are all on point, and this one even features a little extra fire for style and effect.
Lobo Was Actually Originally Featured in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow
It’s no secret that Momoa has wanted to play the character of Lobo for some time, and after Gunn and Peter Safran took over the DC franchise, Momoa was already showing interest in finally making that happen. In the Woman of Tomorrow story, Lobo isn’t actually involved, so many assumed this was done just to get Momoa’s Lobo onscreen, but in actuality, the character was at one point going to be featured in the comic.
