SUPERGIRL Star Jason Momoa Celebrates Lobo Casting Alongside Fan-Favorite Choice For New WONDER WOMAN

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow star Jason Momoa has shared a video celebrating his casting as Lobo, and he's joined by the fan-favourite pick for the DCU's Wonder Woman, Adria Arjona. Read on for details...

By JoshWilding - Jan 04, 2025 11:01 AM EST

Earlier this week, the news broke that Aquaman and Justice League star Jason Momoa will play Lobo in DC Studios' Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. We'd long expected the actor to get a new role in the DCU and this was the most obvious next step after Arthur Curry. 

The actor took to Instagram earlier today to celebrate his new comic book movie role again by smoking a cigar and showing off a script that says "For Lobo's Eyes Only" on the front. 

Momoa was joined by Andor and Hit Man star Adria Arjona, a hugely popular choice for the role of Diana Prince/Wonder Woman in the DCU. However, that's not why she's there; as you may already be aware, Momoa and Arjona are dating and went public with their relationship last May.

Before it was announced that the DCEU was being rebooted (well, revamped), a third Wonder Woman movie was in the early stages of development with Patty Jenkins set to direct. However, things changed when James Gunn and Peter Safran took over as co-heads of DC Studios; the threequel was shelved and Gal Gadot was let go.

So, if James Gunn is indeed searching for a new Wonder Woman, we can't think of a better choice...

In other social media news, Guardians of the Galaxy star Mikaela Hoover has confirmed she's playing Superman's Cat Grant with a photo revealing that she was recently gifted a signed copy of the character's first appearance by Dan Jurgens. 

Superman, DC Studios' first feature film to hit the big screen, is set to soar into theaters worldwide this summer from Warner Bros. Pictures. In his signature style, James Gunn takes on the original superhero in the newly imagined DC universe with a singular blend of epic action, humor and heart, delivering a Superman who’s driven by compassion and an inherent belief in the goodness of humankind.  

The movie stars David Corenswet in the dual role of Superman/Clark Kent, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor.

Also appearing are Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced, Skyler Gisondo, Sara Sampaio, María Gabriela de Faría, Wendell Pierce, Alan Tudyk, Pruitt Taylor Vince, and Neva Howell. 

Superman arrives in theaters on July 11, 2025. As for Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, it follows on June 26, 2026.

I just hope the new Wonder Woman does some badass lasso action like kratos with the blades of chaos

@campblood - I don’t read comics or watch a lot of the animated stuff, so I don’t know if this has been done, but I once had a vision of WW taking out a room full of dudes by taking off her crown and tying her lasso to it, and using it like a rope dart.

I honestly think given some of her recent performances , I could see her as Diana in the DCU…

If she does end up getting the role somehow then I wouldn’t mind it.

This woman looks nothing like Wonder Woman aside from having dark hair and a decent figure....must we have a repeat of Gal Gadot (although I am sure Adria Arjona is a better actress, but that isn't saying much)?

Mikaela Hoover looks more like Wonder Woman than her.

@GiverOfInfo - came here to say the same thing. I don’t think Arjona is a good choice at all.

@GiverOfInfo - while I liked Gal, until Wonder Woman 2 anyway, I didn’t have the complaint that everyone had of her being tan and petite. However I can def see that this girl is that all over again. Now all of a sudden I really am like, hey wait a minute. Why can’t we get a stacked brunette? A Kim Kardashian that can act. I’m not saying Monica bellucci but I’m def picturing her.

@TheWalkingCuban - yes, and also BLUE EYES.

Wonder Woman has always had piercing blue eyes. That's part of her look.

And yes, whoever plays Wonder Woman needs to be a stacked brunette. Literally have a figure like Lynda Carter:

Wonder Woman is a brunette white woman with blue eyes, that is what they should go for. Not an ambiguous looking mestizo chick who calls to mind Gal Gadot.

I hope they give him sloppy dreads vs straight up dreads or regular long hair. Something similar to how a lot of nu metals bands wore back in the late 90’s.

As far as his build, Im torn on whether I want to see him get super jacked and cut like he was in JL and Aquaman or they just have him get huge and bulk. I think I’d rather see a thiccboi Lobo vs one with abs. The only six-pack he should is one that he’s drinking

Is this one of those marketing ploys with the fake relationships to bring publicity to this casting? Seems suspicious to me. Especially if Adria Arjona is cast as Wonder Woman.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 1/4/2025, 12:11 PM
I think Monica Barbaro could be a good pick too.

She's hot but still the same type of Gadot.

I really liked Gal as Wonder Woman (I know the cool kids won't approve) so it is still weird knowing we are getting a new one. I hope I like the new one too.
RedFury
RedFury - 1/4/2025, 12:23 PM
Whomever they pick as the next WW, I hope she's tall just like Gadot was. I just don't really vibe with the idea of an Amazonian being any shorter than 5'10. So as long as the actress is at least 5'9 and they put some height in her shoes I'll be happy. Even better if she's jacked liked a weightlifter too. I would love for a physically imposing, but still beautiful Wonder Woman.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 1/4/2025, 12:49 PM
@RedFury - even if they are 5 foot 7 or 8 , the boots would give the actress another 2 inches atleast
Timerider
Timerider - 1/4/2025, 12:52 PM
@RedFury - Margaret Qualley is 5’8” with heels and lifts could be 6’ tall. Not anywhere near Gal Gadot, but it’s going to be hard to find anyone close to GG at 5’11”
RedFury
RedFury - 1/4/2025, 12:52 PM
@TheVisionary25 - the boots and good cinematography can certainly do wonders 😉 lol.

All I ask is that Diana looks just as imposing as Supes and Batman. Seeing as Corenswet is what 6'5? And I'm hoping Batman is at least 6'2-3. Anyone shorter than an on-screen 5'10 is going to look like a child beside them. Gal is reported to be 5'10, and she looked great standing beside Affleck and Cavill.
RedFury
RedFury - 1/4/2025, 12:55 PM
@Timerider - yeah it's definitely a lot harder to find an actress that is both tall, and built. So there will obviously need to be some caveats in the realisation of the character. Chances are it'll be an up and coming actress we've barely heard of. I get the vibe that Gunn is looking for well priced, newish talent he can turn into big stars without it costing them a fortune.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 1/4/2025, 1:18 PM
@RedFury - honestly I’m cool with that

If a role fits a star then great but my preference is always getting unknown or lesser known actors since these could be potentially star making roles
RedFury
RedFury - 1/4/2025, 1:41 PM
@TheVisionary25 - well said. If it's a big name and they're perfect, go for it obviously. But the up and coming talent comes in with no baggage and less expectations from past performances. So it allows them to really become the character rather than so and so playing Superman, or Batman.
BatSignal
BatSignal - 1/4/2025, 3:33 PM
@RedFury - true dat. Superman is consistantly cast with a tall actor. no actor under 6' has ever played superman. Even George Reeves was 6' at least. so why is it ok to cast a short actress as WW? WW is the best known female superhero, and it has to be done correctly. theres no shortage of tall actresses willing to play WW. i dont think anyone would be so desperate to cast a short actress as WW - and why? because she is dating Jason Lobo Momoa??? gimme a break
RedFury
RedFury - 1/4/2025, 3:40 PM
@BatSignal - lol yeah the whole "superhero hollywood power couple" thing is a little dumb to me too. That should never be a deciding factor in casting; people are crazy haha.

Here's hoping Gunn feels the same way and gets someone that stands tall with Supes and Bats. And to your point I'm sure there's tons of tall women in Hollywood waiting for their break, and this is literally the perfect role for such a person. Gal was a great find, I'm sure they can do that again.
MisterRiviera
MisterRiviera - 1/5/2025, 3:57 PM
@Timerider - I'll throw in another contender with Conor Leslie. She's 5'9 and has already experience with the similar role of Wonder Girl on Teen Titans.
DREAMER
DREAMER - 1/4/2025, 12:37 PM
Adria is hot, she has nice tits, and she's dating Aquaman/Lobo, That's all we need

Go for it, Mr Gunn!

bkmeijer1 - 1/4/2025, 1:18 PM
I like that choice a lot. She doesn't Greek (as I'd prefer), but maybe I'm just biased about fancastings these days. Still, make it happen Gunn

I’d love to see a Wonder Woman that looks like she’s a warrior princess.
