On his Instagram Stories, Momoa channeled his inner Lobo while sharing his reaction to the Supergirl trailer. He captioned a screenshot of Lobo with “I am the main man” and “Fraggin finally,” quoting one of his favorite Lobo curse words. Check out a screenshot of his post in the space below:
Jason Momoa Keeps Proving He Was Perfect for Lobo
Momoa, of course, previously played Aquaman in the DC Extended Universe, but Lobo could go down as his definitive comic book role. This is a character the actor has wanted to play for years, and it’s easy to see why. Based on how he’s portrayed in the comics, Lobo seems like the ideal fit for Momoa, who has a knack for leaning into his natural charisma and larger-than-life personality to play his characters. Obviously, we’re still waiting to see his Lobo properly in action, but all the pieces are in place for a memorable performance. Since this is the first time Lobo’s been featured in a big-budget live-action film, it’s great that he’ll likely leave a strong first impression.
Momoa has already confirmed that he doesn’t have the biggest role in Supergirl, and while that might be disappointing for some to hear, odds are this won’t be his only appearance in the DCU. If Momoa’s performance is as good as everyone hopes, Lobo will quickly become a fan-favorite character, and James Gunn and Co. will likely look for ways to bring him back down the line. Momoa would certainly be capable of headlining a solo Lobo project, or he could be part of a larger ensemble and play off of some other iconic DC characters. Whatever screen time Lobo has in Supergirl will probably set the stage for his return in the future.
