The Supergirl trailer finally gives the first on-screen glimpse of Jason Momoa as Lobo, and even though the shot is quick and intentionally blurred, it’s enough to confirm the character’s presence and attitude in the DCU.
The frame shows Momoa stepping out of the shadows in a grimy, chaotic setting, suggesting the studio is holding back the full reveal for a later trailer or a major marketing beat.
A Tease Instead of a Reveal
The footage doesn’t show the full design or the iconic details fans are waiting for.
Instead, it leans into mystery, offering just enough to establish Lobo’s silhouette, swagger, and the sense that he’s going to be a major force in the film.
The choice to hide the clear look signals that DC Studios wants to build anticipation rather than give everything away up front.
More Lobo Than Originally Planned
According to what our insiders have been hearing, the reaction to Momoa’s performance behind the scenes was strong enough that the studio expanded his role.
What started as a supporting appearance reportedly grew after early footage impressed the creative team.
If true, this lines up with Gunn’s broader push toward bolder, cosmic characters early in the DCU.
