The fate of the DC Universe in the wake of the Netflix acquisition is still a bit up in the air as everyone irons out the details, but we do have the next big feature film coming out this summer. Superman was embraced by audiences and critics alike, more or less, and now we get to see if Supergirl can do the same. The character isn't quite as well-known as her cousin, but thanks in large part to the Arrowverse, people know who she is.
People are already being weird about her, but one thing all the worst people on the internet are likely to agree on is that Jason Momoa looks like a badass as Lobo. Not only that, but it also looks like he's having the time of his life, and that's because he very much is. Momoa's been upfront for years that Lobo is the role for him, and in an interview with Project Big Screen (via GamesRadar+), he said he knew, from the first scene, that this was the role he was born to play.
"I'm super pumped. It felt just awesome [playing Lobo]," Momoa said. "My first scene in [Supergirl] is like, 'I'm fucking born to do this.' There's a lot of great actors that can do stuff, but once I go on that press tour, [you'll see] 'My first shot was this. Could you do this?'"
It's unclear how big a role Momoa as Lobo will have in Supergirl. Later on, during the same interview, Momoa said, "But yeah, I'm pumped, it's very small too," and called the film 'her beautiful movie' referring to Supergirl. So we might not see much Lobo in this film, but it sounds like he's going to make quite an impression.
