Jason Momoa has thrilled his fans with some exciting news, confirming through Instagram that he has been offered his dream role in the DC Universe (DCU).
The actor, best known for his portrayal of Khal Drogo in Game of Thrones and as Aquaman in the DC films, took to social media to share the momentous announcement. In his post, he revealed that Warner Bros. had reached out to offer him the role of Lobo in the upcoming film Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. Captioning the post simply with “They called,” Momoa made his excitement clear.
The actor also included a screenshot from a past interview in which he discussed his long-standing desire to play the iconic character of Lobo, a rugged and rebellious alien bounty hunter from the DC Comics. In the interview, Momoa revealed his love for comic books, saying, “I collect comics, and I don’t do so much anymore, but [Lobo] was always my favorite, and I always wanted to play Lobo, because I’m like, ‘Hello? It’s the perfect role.’”
Momoa had previously hinted at his interest in the role, explaining, “I haven’t had that call, so I don’t want to put any fake news out there, but if they ever call me and ask me to play, or ask me to audition, I’m there.” It seems that his persistence has paid off, as the 45-year-old actor’s dream is finally coming true with the official offer to play Lobo.
This new chapter in Momoa’s career comes after his successful run as Aquaman in the DCU’s Aquaman (2018) and the upcoming Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. Fans are now eagerly anticipating his portrayal of Lobo, a character known for his chaotic and anti-hero persona, which seems to be a perfect fit for the actor’s larger-than-life screen presence.
With this new role, Jason Momoa’s already impressive career continues to soar, and his fans are eagerly awaiting the chance to see him bring Lobo to life on the big screen.
