James Gunn shares his reaction toDC Universestar Jason Momoa almost leaking the first Lobo look fromSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. Milly Alcock is set to bring Kara Zor-El to life inthe DCU’s Chapter 1: “Gods and Monsters,“butSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrowis also bringing another beloved character to life, with Momoa set to star in the film as Lobo. One of the things that many are waiting to see fromSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrowis not just the Girl of Steel’s official costume but also what Momoa will look like as Lobo.
Over the weekend, a new interview with Momoa was released, where he was asked about Lobo inSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrowwhile describing what his make-up and costume look like in the movie. As Momoa went to show the look to the interviewer, his publicist begged him not to do it, which led toGunnsharing the following reaction on Threads:
Gunn stated,“I just want to profoundly thank Jason’s publicist,“in reference to said publicist telling him “Jason, don’t do it!” and then later reassuring those involved that “It’ll be worth the wait”. This will be Lobo’s first time being featured in a live-action DC movie, though the character previously appeared on the short-livedKryptonTV show, where he was played by Emmett J. Scanlan.
What Jason Momoa & James Gunn’s Responses Mean For Lobo In The DCU
As understandable as it is that fans want to see Momoa’s Lobo,it’s key to remember that they have yet to film publicly, which may be the reason why they don’t want to reveal any images before they debut a proper official look. There is likely a plan in place for official ways to reveal things like Alcock’s Supergirl suit and Momoa’s Lobo design, with any potential early reveals sabotaging that.TheSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrowstoryis probably going to want to keep some tricks up its sleeve in the run up to its debut, and that may include things such as what Lobo looks like in the DCU.
The fact thatMomoa’s publicist can also be heard saying,“It’ll be worth the wait,“also underlines that even though fans will have to remain patient, the end result will be rewarding for fans of the character. During a recent DCU press event,Gunn even teased that Momoa’s Lobo revealwouldn’t be for a while, asSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrow’sprincipal photography is still ongoing. Once they actually get on location, that may be when DC Studios actually reveals official images of both Alcock and Momoa’s characters, either separately or individually.
