DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn is hyping up the DCU debut of Jason Momoa as Lobo by releasing his own trailer that showcases his comic-accurate design. Momoa previously portrayed the DC Extended Universe's (DCEU) Aquaman before jumping ship to Gunn's DCU to play a different character and his dream role in the form of Lobo, a Czarnian bounty hunter and warrior who occasionally butt heads with Superman and Supergirl. While the Supergirl trailer only provided a glimpse of Momoa's version of Lobo, a new trailer emerged online to showcase what the anti-hero actually looks like in the upcoming 2026 movie.
Gunn shared an official trailer highlighting the debut of Jason Momoa as the DCU's Lobo, providing the best look yet at the character's comic-accurate design in the Milly Alcock-led Supergirl movie.
The 26-second trailer showed Momoa's Lobo entering the scene, riding his intergalactic motorcycle called the Space Hog.
In DC Comics, the Space Hog can fly through the vacuum of space at incredible speeds while also having the ability to create a protective force field to shield Lobo from harm. The motorcycle also has an autopilot feature that proves handy when it comes to sneaking an attack on Lobo's enemies.
Lobo looks quite stunning in the trailer, as it emphasizes his heavy metal biker aesthetic and his massive build. It also showed a glimpse of his giant hook-chain, with him potentially gearing up for battle.
Watch the trailer below:
Directed by Craig Gillespie, Supergirl follows Kara Zor-el's quest for revenge in the cosmos (which is a key difference from her The CW series) after her dog, Krypto, was injured by Krem of the Yellow Hills. Along the way, she meets dangerous enemies like Lobo while she fights alongside her newfound sidekick, Ruthye.
Joining Jason Momoa and Milly Alcock in the Supergirl cast are Eve Ridley, Matthias Schoenarts, Emily Beecham, and David Krumholtz. Supergirl arrives in theaters on June 26, 2026.
Why Jason Momoa's Comic-Accurate Lobo Is a Good Sign for Supergirl
Given that Lobo has never had a major live-action appearance, seeing Jason Momoa's comic-accurate take on the DC anti-hero is a good sign for Supergirl because it provides an added boost for the DCU's credibility since the new reboot doesn't shy away from embracing direct tribute to the comics.
Momoa's enthusiasm for playing Lobo is also a bonus because his deep love for the character means that his portrayal will be authentic rather than forced. The actor is also poised to honor the character's lengthy comic history while injecting his usual high energy into an already chaotic character like Lobo.
If anything, this official look is already a solid win, not just for the DCU but also for DC diehards who have grown tired of lackluster on-screen character adaptations in the past.
