Jason Momoa joins a select group of actors by playing Lobo in 'Supergirl': 'I'm very lucky'

Jason Momoa plays his 2nd cinema hero in 'Supergirl'
With the premiere of "Supergirl" in Brazilian cinemas this Thursday (25), star Jason Momoa joins the select group - or perhaps not so much, at this point - of actors who have played more than one comic book character.

After giving life to Aquaman in four films based on DC comic books, the 46-year-old Hawaiian now takes on the motorcycle and cigar of the anti-hero Lobo - one of the most out of control and cult characters from the same publisher.
By chance, the hairy, brutish bounty hunter has been the actor's favorite since his youth. An admiration that Momoa shared with anyone who would listen since the time he was still wielding the trident of the king of Atlantis.
"I'm a very, very lucky man. A very lucky actor to be able to play these things. Especially Lobo, because I grew up reading these comics, and I love them," he says, in an interview with g1.
"Playing Lobo is wonderful. Not apologizing for anything. Being such a playful scoundrel. At the same time, so is It's really fun to be the king, and it's really fun to have vulnerability and have a son, and a wife. I don't want to say one is better than the other."

During his past life as Aquaman, Momoa made friends with two other actors who know well what it's like to experience the transition from one alter ego to another.
Ben Affleck, the Bat-Man of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" (2016) and "Justice League" (2017), was one of the first cinema superheroes when he played Marvel's blind lawyer in "Daredevil: The Man Without Fear" (2003).
The great villain of "Aquaman" (2018), Patrick Wilson, participated in the adaptation of the comic book classic "Watchmen: The film" (2009), like the Owl.
You could also talk about Willem Dafoe, the eternal Green Goblin from the first "Spider-Man" (2002), but his character Vulko is so secondary to the cinematic Aquaman that his participation was cut from the hero's film, only contained in "Justice League".
You can imagine that Momoa would talk to his friends about the experience, also shared with names like Chris Evans and Halle Berry (see art above).
"No. I didn't say it. I mean, Patrick and I are good friends. I also have a good friendship with Ben. But no, I didn't say it. I haven't seen them since. But it's a good question. I'll talk to them. There's a club of both times. Both times as a superhero", says the actor.

"Is there anyone who has done it three times?"
Yes, there is. Josh Brolin and Ryan Reynolds are among those who played more than two central characters in the comics.
After starting his career early in adaptations such as the gunslinger "Jonah Hex - Bounty Hunter" (2010), it took years for Brolin to achieve the combo of the uber villain Thanos from the Marvel films and the bad-tempered Cable, in "Deadpool 2" (2018).
It's ironic that his friend and rival from the mercenary film is another example of the "threesome club". Reynolds is currently enjoying the height of success with Deadpool, but it wasn't always like this.
Many people forget, but many years before the disastrous "Green Lantern" (2011) and "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" (2009), he was in the also disastrous "Blade: Trinity" (2004). - Ana Nogueira tells a very similar story.
In it, Supergirl (Milly Alcock) tries to overcome the trauma of losing her home planet while helping a girl seeking revenge for the death of her parents.

Lobo appears in the middle of the journey and, contrary to what many people expected, he briefly teams up with the duo to face the villain's army of henchmen.
Before that, he finds time to do some of his favorite things that, coincidentally or not, are shared with Momoa's Aquaman.
"Well, they both like drinking beer, and they like dolphins. They have that in common. And, you know what? I'm surprised you didn't remember this, but they both love riding motorcycles," he says.
It is necessary to warn, however: there are no dolphins in "Supergirl".
Created in 1983 by Roger Slifer and Keith Giffen, Lobo first appeared as a villain. Initially with shorter hair and a colorful leotard, he evolved over the years into a satire of Wolverine, from rival Marvel, as a virtually immortal, violent and foul-mouthed being.
His look also changed and he gained a more biker style, with hair, a leather jacket or overcoat and even a bulldog.
Currently, he takes on the face of an anti-hero more on the margins of the publisher's main stories, and has faced Superman almost on an equal footing - despite to ally with the heroes most of the time.

With the imminent purchase process of Warner, owner of DC and the studios that adapt its comics, the future of the new cinematic universe led by James Gunn (director of the "Guardians of the Galaxy" trilogy and "Superman") is uncertain.
Which doesn't stop the performer of "Maioral", as Lobo is affectionately known, from dreaming of his own film.
"I'm really excited for people to see it. I hope they like it, and then we can do more, you know?"
