Jason Momoa, the Hawaiian actor, gained fame after his role as the formidable Khal Drogo in “Game of Thrones.” Although HBO’s hit series marked a significant moment for Momoa, it wasn’t his first television role. The success of this series paved the way for him to take on lead roles in major Hollywood films like “A Minecraft Movie,” “Dune,” and “Fast X.”
Despite the conclusion of the DCEU and Momoa’s established character as Aquaman, announced in 2023, he is certainly not slowing down. Besides portraying Blanka in the anticipated “Street Fighter,” he is also set to return to the revamped DC universe this year, now taking on the role of a villain.
In James Gunn’s forthcoming “Supergirl” film, which will premiere in June 2026, Momoa will appear as the alien bounty hunter Lobo. However, this is not the first occasion the actor has taken on an alien character. Well before Momoa donned a fitted wetsuit, he played a significant part in a memorable sci-fi series you might have overlooked: “Stargate Atlantis.”
