Jason Momoa is making waves in the film industry as he transitions from hero to villain in the upcoming 'Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.' The actor, known for his role as Aquaman, recently celebrated receiving the script for his new character, Lobo, with an enthusiastic Instagram post.
In the video, Momoa showcases the sealed script marked with the phrase 'For Lobo's eyes only.' Lobo is a mercenary and intergalactic bounty hunter, originally conceived as a satirical take on Marvel's Wolverine. This shift marks a significant change for Momoa, who has portrayed Aquaman seven times.
The actor's decision to embrace the darker side of the DC Universe comes after realizing the future of Aquaman was uncertain. In a meeting with DC Studios co-heads James Gunn and Peter Safran in January 2023, Momoa left with what he described as 'very good news' about stepping into the role of Lobo, a character he has long been interested in. This project is part of the new 'Gods and Monsters' era of the DC Universe, which is generating excitement among fans.
