Summary
- Jason Momoa opted for prosthetics for his Supergirl character.
- He found it impractical to gain significant muscle for the role.
- Momoa's girlfriend Adria Arjona attended the Supergirl premiere.
Jason Momoa has opted for a creative solution for his portrayal of Lobo in the upcoming Supergirl film, premiering on Friday, June 26, 2026. Rather than undertaking a strenuous body transformation to achieve the alien bounty hunter's immense physique, Momoa chose to utilize prosthetics for the character's exaggerated upper body.
Momoa expressed his practical reasoning to Men's Journal, stating he did not want to endure the discomfort of such extreme bulk, which would impede movement and fitting through doorways. He emphasized that the prosthetics allowed him to achieve the desired imposing look without the personal inconvenience.
The actor attended the Supergirl premiere in London on Thursday, June 18, 2026, with his girlfriend Adria Arjona and his children, Nakoa-Wolf and Lola. Momoa, who stands at 6'4" and is known for his active lifestyle and various intense roles, has a history of adapting his physique for characters, including Khal Drogo in Game of Thrones and his initial role in Baywatch: Hawaii.
