Jason Momoa is not just revving up for Lobo’s debut in Supergirl, he is already aiming to ride the bounty hunter straight into a solo spotlight. For years, fans of Jason Momoa said he was the perfect actor to play Lobo, the hyper-violent, cigar-chomping, bad-to-the-bone bounty hunter from space, and that dream finally came true with his debut in this summer's DCU film Supergirl.

After playing Aquaman in the old DCEU before fading into the background, Momoa has re-entered the superhero world not as a noble hero, but as a Czarnian antihero who breaks every rule in the book. His appearance in Supergirl is already being hailed as one of the most exciting DCU debuts of the year.

And now, with Lobo firmly in the DCU, Momoa has set his sights on something bigger: his own solo Lobo movie.

In an interview with ScreenRant's Ash Crossan during press for Supergirl, Jason Momoa made no secret of his desire to star in a standalone film with the alien bounty hunter.

"I mean, I think I'd like to, we talked about this, I'd love to do a solo film at some point," he said, confirming that he's already thinking about where Lobo could go beyond this summer's cameo. 

That statement lines up with what DC Studios has hinted: they want to build a franchise around the most dangerous, fun, and chaotic characters in the DCU, and Lobo is exactly the kind of wildcard that could anchor a rowdy, adult-leaning action series. But Momoa also shared that he is not rushing for that solo film yet. He would prefer to step into a few more worlds first, the way he did with Aquaman.

"I think it'd be great to step into a couple other worlds first, like how we did with Aquaman. Went to Justice League and then finally got to Aquaman after Batman v Superman," Momoa explained to ScreenRant. He'd love to appear in another DCU project and even says it would be great to see himself in a future Superman movie, using the interlinked universe to build up Lobo's story before letting him go solo.

While Momoa looks ahead to Lobo’s future, the wider DCU is already laying the groundwork for interconnected stories that could shape where he fits next.

James Gunn has made it clear that Supergirl is far more than a one-off introduction. The character is set to play a major role in the upcoming sequel Superman: Man of Tomorrow, which is already in production. Her presence is expected to be central to the film’s emotional and narrative conflict.

Gunn has highlighted how this version of Supergirl stands apart from previous portrayals. Unlike her cousin, she is shaped by trauma and hardship, giving her a more volatile and unpredictable edge. That contrast sets up a dynamic that is both compelling and unstable when paired with Superman.

The tension between the two Kryptonians is expected to deepen as the story unfolds. With threats involving figures like Lex Luthor and Brainiac, their relationship could become a defining element of the DCU’s next phase. Supergirl’s presence may complicate alliances and challenge Superman’s ideals in ways audiences have not seen before.
